  1. 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?

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

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

  4. 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?
    Who will eventually be chosen to regulate the Internet?

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

  6. 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.

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