bug description

I've looked through other issues and it seems like this issue has happened before- Whenever I try and download any video, I end up getting an error message saying, "i can't access this video. it may be restricted on youtube's side. try a different link!" Other devices I use seem to have the same issue, including when the wifi is off.

reproduction steps

  1. copy youtube link from the search bar
  2. go to cobalt
  3. paste in the link (using the auto mode)
  4. get error message :(

I have had this problem for the last 3-5 days roughly and can second its existence.

Can't download any of my music anymore. I've tried links on all formats of the YouTube TLD, including YouTube music, standard YouTube and w/YouTube links excluding share IDs or shorteners.

i can third its existence as i have not been able to download the auto-generated reuploads of songs ripped from spotify or wherever. some music videos don't even work either even though i can access all of these things normally on youtube. this has been a thing since november 25th for me at least
