Help with downloading a video?

I found a video thats archived on WebArchive but when I try to play it, it says that an error has occured and that its not available for playback. I know its archived cuz when I scroll through the video i can see the frames. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Archiving modern websites is rather tricky. There are tons of servers involved and they often run some software themself. These are black boxes that cannot be archived without direct help from the web admins. For this reason, archived sites are often broken in some minor or major way.

Without a link, it is pretty hard to help you with your specific problem.
- Oh yeah, that makes sense
  
  Sorry, here's a link to the archive web page https://web.archive.org/web/20190416224809/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE8YDj73zpE&gl=US&hl=en
  
  And a link to the original video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NE8YDj73zpE
  
  upon trying to download it with yt-dlp I got the error
  
  ERROR: [web.archive:youtube] NE8YDj73zpE: The requested video is not archived, indexed, or there is an issue with web.archive.org (try again later)
  
  So the file is most likely broken
  
  Ooh I see, thank you 💙
