I am facing this issue when i am trying to download mp3/mp4 and youtube showing an oauth error

{
"status": "error",
"text": "couldn't get this youtube video because it requires an account to view.

this limitation is done by google to seemingly stop scraping, affecting all 3rd party tools and even their own clients.

try again, but if issue persists, check the <a class="text-backdrop link" href="https://status.cobalt.tools/" target="_blank">status page or <a class="text-backdrop link" href="https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt" target="_blank">create an issue on github."
}

we genuinely don't know what could be wrong, the dummy account you're using may be screwed. cobalt configuration seems correct.
