Description

When doing --add-metadata on shows downloaded from cwtv, the step to add the metadata fails with the message "Cannot allocate memory". Any additional steps that come after, such as --embed-subs or --xattrs are never run.

I've only seen this happen on cwtv.com, and I've used --add-metadata with multiple sites without issue.

Using ffmpeg, version 4.3.1.

Metadata file

What follows is the .meta file that the ffmpeg error references:
