hi,

i have the latest yt-dlp from here :
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-nightly-builds/releases

but when i want download videos from this youtube channel with this code :

yt-dlp.exe https://www.youtube.com/@ganesh2levrai/videos

i have this error message and can't download anything :

[Attachment 77872 - Click to enlarge]

I have tried with that : --extractor-args youtubekip=authcheck
and that : --cookies cookies.txt (after have extract cookies from firefox)

but same result

i don't understand why, i have zero problems with other channels

i can also copy link of each videos of this channel and it works perfectly with yt-dlp, it's just the playlist which has problem

Can you even access that link with your browser? https://www.youtube.com/@ganesh2levrai/videos
It returns 404 not found.

ah you are right...
now it even shows 404 not found even on firefox...
fortunately, few hours ago, i had the time to download all the videos before this channel has been striked
i suppose it's because they laugh about french dictatorship, ooop i mean french politics (...)
their last parody song was about the french law this week "limit everydbody to 3gb internet data per month", the more funny lyrics of the song was "pray to not have windows update" lol
the world (at least in europe) become crazy

it's funny yt-dlp has detected the youtube strike even before internet explorer ^^
