Every error speaks plain language
fibula never shows a stack trace — each failure explains itself and suggests the fix. The common ones:
- "YouTube is asking for a sign-in (bot check)" — YouTube is rate-limiting the fetch. Retry in a minute, try a different upload of the same episode, or upload the file directly. The team monitors ingestion health and usually has this resolved before you notice.
- "YouTube didn't offer a downloadable version" — a transient format issue; retry, or upload the file.
- "This video is age-restricted / region-blocked" — YouTube refuses anonymous access to it. A different upload usually works.
- "You're out of minutes" — top up (or during beta, ask for a grant).
- Claude overloaded / rate-limited — wait a minute, hit Re-curate.
