video support download is not supported for {custom_llm_prov

Error message

video support download is not supported for {custom_llm_provider}

What it means

Provider-support check in video download: decoding video_id (or the explicit argument) resolved a provider with no video download implementation, so the content fetch is rejected before any HTTP call.
