[NotZoeyDev]

I'm also having the same issue and it seems to have been happening for a few days now.
Based off @rapre8's profile, we're more likely to be living in the same area (Québec).

It might be a region based issue or an ISP issue.

[rapre8]

Hi yall, following @NotZoeyDev's comment, I tried using a VPN, and it somehow allowed the initial code to work. So your hypothesis sounds good.

[gamer191]

@rapre8 your issue is a duplicate of #1986. I'd recommend you to either:

1. Wait for the issue to resolve itself, if it hasn't already
2. use a vpn, --force-ipv4 or --force-ipv6
3. if you're an advanced user, use --print urls to get the video URLs, then follow the instructions at [youtube] yt-dlp fails to fall back if primary video server is unavailable #1986 to manually modify the URLs, then merge them manually.
4. use --check-formats, if you don't mind the formats downloading at a lower quality
5. if suggestion 4 doesn't work, you can use -f b to cap the formats at 720p, then follow suggestion 3 without having to manually merge the formats

@NotZoeyDev your issue is probably also a duplicate of #1986, but I can't know if you don't post a verbose log. Just run your original command with --verbose and send the output. Also, please send the output of yt-dlp --verbose "https://rr2---sn-cxaaj5o5q5-t9cl.googlevideo.com/" "https://rr2---sn-cxaaj5o5q5-t0ak.googlevideo.com/"
