this is caused by a player cipher update, there's already an issue about it in the youtube.js repo: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/issues/952
we'll have to wait or make a pr to youtube.js to fix this. for now, i've disabled the web client on hosted (https://cobalt.tools) instance to prevent 0 byte files. highest quality will not be available until deciphering is fixed.
