Thanks also why is it that half the time it cuts off a video at random points? Just thought I should ask.

I’m also having the same issue with downloading YouTube videos now; it says the video is restricted even when it’s not. Any updates on how to resolve this?

Hi @wukko, i'm having the same issue when downloading this song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QryAnD3kxBc
Platform: Macbook Air M1
@Larddral the video is region restricted, so cobalt can't get it
