ytdlp-interface won't download videos anymore

[RetroC]

Title. I haven't used this program in a while, and now when I tried to download a simple video, I received this error message in the output:

I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the program, and even tried other versions of it (such as the original yt-dlp and yt-dlp-GUI) but the error goes on.
How can I solve this issue?

url works without a problem with latest version of yt-dlp

Youtube changes the way they play videos periodically. The downloaders have to be modified accordingly. Update to the latest version "yt-dlp -U".

That part of the error message about signing in to confirm you're not a bot is usual?

That means signing in using a Google ID?

Or signing in for some entity outside of the Google realm?

I ask because I have only recently taken an interest in this yt thingy and I don't even yet know who runs that yt thingy. So maybe that sign in stuff is related to a yt thingy realm?

By the way, as this yt thingy stuff comes up so often around this Community, isn't there a dedicated thread just to the variations that come up with this program? Because of my studying over a few years of the way that 4k thingy has been working I am very aware of the tweaks the YouTube staff sticks into their software. And that stuff from Google is not posted to the public at large - of course. Any of you remember YouTube before Google bought it?

I agree with ProJiJi about signing in, as the link works fine for me also.

I don't sign in to Youtube or google. I don't even have an account with youtube. I had no problems downloading via the OPs link with yt-dlp.

It's usual in case you use a VPN.

It's usual in case you use a VPN.

Agree, and perhaps, comes of downloading too many videos, too quickly.

I have similar problems when I gave him the link from YouTube

try one of these:
download-youtube-videos-by-changing-url

Try this for the best copy(IMO).
I had no problem downloading this with command.
