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.
screenshots
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?
@ai5bal commented on GitHub (Jul 31, 2024):
Yep same issue here.
@Tintin232 commented on GitHub (Aug 27, 2024):
Any update about a fix for this issue? It's still plaguing me 😢.
@wukko commented on GitHub (Aug 27, 2024):
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
@Tintin232 commented on GitHub (Aug 27, 2024):
Gotcha
@arandomhooman commented on GitHub (Sep 10, 2024):
Still happens, no other downloaded has this problem. Makes this great tool now useless.
@invadermoth commented on GitHub (Sep 17, 2024):
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.
@arandomhooman commented on GitHub (Sep 17, 2024):
You can use another downloaded for now. If you can use command line, use yt-dlp, if only website use ddownr or y2mate
@invadermoth commented on GitHub (Sep 17, 2024):
Well, issue is that I use Cobalt at school and a lot of other websites are blocked. I kind of have to use Cobalt :<
@wukko commented on GitHub (Nov 3, 2024):
pretty sure that the issue got fixed by #867 and #879 🎉
if long videos still get cut off (couldn’t replicate it since the update), enabling hls should help: https://cobalt.tools/settings/video#youtube-hls
@Sainan commented on GitHub (Nov 29, 2024):
Seems to be an issue again without enabling HLS, e.g.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0b_1GADtPnQcan't get past 30-40 minutes.@TrilobiteFaye commented on GitHub (Dec 1, 2024):
oh whoops i just opened an issue about exactly this same problem
@Twten commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
This is still a problem

@Twten commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
What about downloading a youtube video to mp3? Stops downloading early between 500kb and 16mb
@wukko commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
the hls toggle applies globally, including audio too.
@Twten commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
I have the hls toggle on, and it's still cutting mp3 downloads short
@wukko commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
then make a new issue using an appropriate template and fill out all necessary info!
@Twten commented on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025):
seems as if i'm only having this issue. i'm using firefox and tried to replicate it on chrome and it didn't happen. asked my friend who uses firefox and it didn't happen either. just a weird anomaly for me. sorry.
