bug description
I’m very disappointed that the issue I reported has been closed without being resolved. The only explanation given was that it was marked as a duplicate, which doesn’t actually fix the problem I’m experiencing.
As I mentioned before, I’m currently unable to download any music, video, or audio from YouTube using cobalt.tools. Each attempt results in the same error: "Couldn't get this video because YouTube asked the processing instance to prove that it is not a bot. Try again."
You noted that other platforms besides YouTube are working—but that doesn’t address the core issue, as YouTube is the primary platform I use for music and video content.
Can you please let me know:
Which reliable platform(s) I can use to download music, video, and audio content?
Can you also resolve the issue with YouTube downloads, instead of just closing the request as a duplicate?
I hope this time, the issue will be properly addressed. I’m attaching the error screenshot again for your reference.
Thank you.

there is no need to re-create duplicates of issues. it won’t help. refer to the original issue.
