YouTube download is interrupted before full video is downloaded

bug description

Basically the title. Most of the time, my downloads stop before the full video is downloaded.

reproduction steps

I've had this issue with every link I've tried, though that isn't much.

These are all downloads of the same video that have stopped before the full video is downloaded.

Ah I see, I guess this is a known issue. Should I close this issue then?

Yep same issue here.

Any update about a fix for this issue? It's still plaguing me 😢.

last fix lasted for a few weeks, but i guess youtube changed something once again last evening. videos get cut off because youtube starts randomly returning 403 to streams, which is completely unpredictable from our side.

update: the fix lasted for almost a month, actually

Gotcha

Still happens, no other downloaded has this problem. Makes this great tool now useless.

Having the same issue with 2 livestreams of mine I tried downloading to clip! First one, about one hour in length got cut down to 16 minutes. Second one, about an hour and 20 minutes in length got cut down to 12 minutes. Hope this gets fixed soon, since I really don't feel like screen recording the full 1 hour or so to get the video.

You can use another downloaded for now. If you can use command line, use yt-dlp, if only website use ddownr or y2mate

Well, issue is that I use Cobalt at school and a lot of other websites are blocked. I kind of have to use Cobalt :<
