From one day to the next I can no longer download YouTube videos. I was able to download all videos marked "provided to YouTube".

Solution please
Thanks

@Robert08061955 if Ure on Mac go to /Users/<user>/Library/Application Support and remove the folder youtube-dl-gui. After that it should work again.

I am having the same issue on Windows 10. I deleted the folders in AppData/Roaming and AppData/Local and am still receiving the error. Any recommendations?

Same issue. Clearing cache does not solve the issue as well.

Instead of using the GUI version I loaded the original yt-dlp using the command line. I added the flag: --impersonate "chrome"

After including the flag I was able to connect to the website.

Open Video Downloader (youtube-dl-gui) Version: 2.4.0

With Windows 11, I cleaned
C:\Users<username>\AppData\Roaming\youtube-dl-gui
and it is working.

same problem, not working.

我在 Windows 10 上也遇到了同樣的問題。我刪除了 AppData/Roaming 和 AppData/Local 中的資料夾，但仍然收到錯誤訊息。有什麼建議嗎？

開啟影片下載器（youtube-dl-gui）版本：2.4.0

使用 Windows 11，我清理了 C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\youtube-dl-gui 並且它可以正常工作。

adding cookies fixed the issue for me

  vlc does not work for downloads anymore. So now I use OBS for record, and convert to mp3 in vlc. Cumbersome, but it works!   Op 04-07-2025 15:48 CEST schreef FawazT ***@***.***>:     FawazTakahji left a comment (jely2002/youtube-dl-gui#528) adding cookies fixed the issue for me image.png (view on web) —Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.You are receiving this because you were mentioned.Message ID: ***@***.***>
