cannot get this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JaUUfMiYI3E

[abrogard]

Yesterday was downloading from that site fine. Now I can't. Had AI helping me and we got nowhere.
installed node.js with some hassles - aborted on associated python64 install but subsequent 'repair install' said node.js was alright.
but ytdlp still queries if I have javascript so maybe that is not installed? how can I check all is good and make it good if not?
tried DLM and it failed.
with AI we've tried all kinds of switches to no avail.
using vpn all around the place no good and using without it no good.
I was just about to say all other sites okay but just did a quick test and I find three in a row that fail.
So maybe it's not my end - maybe YT has done something?
Anyone know?

Step 1: Get a yt-dlp binary from here: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#release-files
Step 2: Make sure your node.js is supported (version >= 20.0.0): https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/EJS#node or use e.g. deno
Step 3: Download video with

yt-dlp --js-runtimes node:/path/to/node JaUUfMiYI3E

Of course replace /path/to/node with the real path where you put your node binary.

If that doesn't solve your problem, show a verbose log - i.e. add "-v" to the switches.

maybe the node thing is a problem. i've done that twice previous to this. powershell reports the node version. and then cannot supply the path to it. and when queried with a sort of 'listing' command shows it as not there. Like this one (from AI) PS E:\ytdlp> .\yt-dlp --verbose "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" | findstr "JS runtimes" which returned (amongst all ) "[debug] JS runtimes: none[debug] Proxy map: {}"
So I've done it twice before by simply downloading the windows msc and running it. What better should I do?

Yep. Thank you. I found another machine and was able to download it there. So the question becomes: what's wrong with my original (win10) machine?
With AI help perhaps I can config it to match this machine that does work.
I have no idea where the problem might be. In yt-dlp? In powershell? In Win10?


The github post 12482 mentioned doesn't help me much. I can't make any sense of it.

Change 'IP'.

[abrogard]

Cracked it. For anyone running across the same problem:
It was my cookies from firefox. Set in my config file which I didn't even know was there.
I would write out --cookies-from-browser when I wanted it and leave it out when I didn't, never knowing the config was putting it in there anyway.
AI tells me:
The broken machine's Firefox cookies are triggering YouTube's stricter anti-bot detection. Your cookies might be:
Old/expired
Flagged by YouTube
From a suspicious login pattern
Associated with too many downloads
Which I didn't know YT did/does but there you go.
node.js would have fixed it, AI tells me, but I couldn't get it to install successfully even with three attempts. even when it reported it was installed. even when powershell claimed it was there. all very problematic. I'll try again today.
Thanks for the help/interest.

I was able to download this video successfully using the latest version 21.5.0.190 of MassTube application (tested, see the image below), and also I get this video with audio tracks in Russian and English languages, just try yourself:

Thank you very much for that. Sorry to be so late getting back. I got to see your reply and go look at masstube. It looks great. But perhaps limited to windows at the moment? No matter. I can still use it, I have win and linux.

I hope the MassTube worked as well for you as it did for me. Best regards.
