Additional context

bug happens on Seal Preview version.
i don't really know why this happens.
if its a single video download and video/audio is selected mode (playlist mode is not selected), it downloads correctly.
the seal preview version is 2.0.0-alpha.5
the yt-dlp version is 2025.02.11.232920 (nightly-builds)

i found a workaround, download the youtube playlist in audio mode as selected ( not playlist; the audio type on the download tab ) and wait for it to start (it takes a bit long) and it will download the playlist as audio file. (it does the usual ffmpeg file conversion)
NOTE: it downloads like the current release seal (non-preview) as it downloads them one by one which is slow compared to the downloading 3 videos at the same time.
NOTE 2: you cannot customize what specific videos the task should download, it will download all of the videos on the playlist. (and turns them into audio if audio mode is selected which fixes my issue)
