I’ve downloaded it and replayed the video file in VLC Player. Just skipped parts and listened to it a few seconds, also towards and at the end when we see the person speaking. It looks fine to me, the lips are synced to what he is speaking. Besides that the uploader could have made a mistake (I’ve seen videos desynced online), this seems to be fine. It could be a problem with the video player or codec on your system? Or the ffmpeg version you have (yt-dlp uses ffmpeg to do stuff).
It’s hard to say what’s going on. I can only confirm that downloading this video with yt-dlp looks correctly synced to me.
Wow, thanks for the reply! I guess it must be a problem on my end. I was playing with kodi on a raspberry pi, so I’m not surprised, but really helpful to know that it’s not the downloader.
I’ve had audio sync issues on kodi myself-- specifically osmc on Vero V which is optimized for playback.
I tried checking my notes, because it was some time ago. Nothing definitive, but it may have been related to a random crashing issue that turned out to be a bad hdmi port-- which was the last thing I considered checking after triple checking everything else.
Anyway, good luck with the troubleshooting. Audio sync issues are a pain but I can also attest yt-dlp has been solid.
