Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hello
Bitchute has been working fine, but stopped working yesterday. This video is active and pulls up fine in a browser. I usually use the -a file with URLs. I had about 10 Bitchute URLs and they all failed with this:

"ERROR: No video formats found; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug "

Bitchute is not censored like Youtube is and is growing very fast in popularity.

Thank you for your efforts and for a great utility!
