Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

I'm getting 403 errors while using the latest version of deno

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

That's definitely not a verbose log, please add -vU to the command you're running and then post here all the output you see, otherwise we cannot understand what's going on

I noted that in some videos it works but it still gets 403 on some fragments (and also goes very slow)

This is a video that works:

@Leocraft1 replace -S vcodec:h264,res,acodec:m4a with -t mp4 and update to nightly with --update-to nightly
@shpshp install deno by either downloading the binary from their website and placing it in the same folder as yt-dlp or by running winget install DenoLand.Deno (note that if you already have node or other JS runtimes you can skip this and add --js node to the command), then update to nightly with --update-to nightly

If is still doesn't work please send a new log

--update-to nightly worked perfectly alone without installing deno!

Thank you very much!

It will work without deno while you don't use cookies. You will have to install deno if you want to use them.
