This is not a bug in Parabolic. The HTTP 404 error on the metadata means that yt-dlp's Kick extractor is no longer compatible with Kick's current API or URL structure — Kick has likely changed something on their end.

Since Parabolic relies on yt-dlp to handle video extraction, there is nothing Parabolic can do until yt-dlp updates its Kick extractor. I would recommend reporting this issue directly to the yt-dlp project here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues

Please note that I am not an official developer of Parabolic — just a user trying to help as best I can. There may be additional context or solutions that I am not aware of.
