Potential duplicate #8294
This error is probably caused by an update on YouTube's end. I'll take a look :)

@vimtor it seems to be a problem with node-ytdl-core, see fent/node-ytdl-core#1250 for example. I don't know if there's anything we can do at the moment. There's already a fix PR which is awaiting review: fent/node-ytdl-core#1217 but it's already open for a few months.

Thank you for investigating this @darmiel. Let's hope it gets fixed soon, so we can update the version.

Hi! Looks like the problem is solved. Everything works now.

Can confirm, I'm able to download videos again.
