Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Failed target videos:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqXpaTu8UrM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YtaJNbW4ET4

Working target video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bOrVzmd9j1s

youtube-dl gives a connection error whenever it reaches the Downloading MPD Manifest stage. I can access all videos themselves fine, and when I ask for available formats, it connects fine and works as intended. I have tried using the youtu.be url as well as the full url, and using http instead of https, but it still gives the same error. I have also tried it using a different video (provided above), and it worked perfectly. When I ask for available formats, it connects fine and gives me the format choices for all three videos.

Error log provided above is for attempt on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqXpaTu8UrM

Any help or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Could you paste logs for successful videos as well?

By the way, this may be an issue with antivirus services. Please also try to download videos again with antivirus services disabled.

I tried it again on the failed videos after disabling my antivirus, but the same exact problem happened, including pretty much the same -v output.

i'm expiriencing same issue on some of fresh uploaded videos. It will download part of the video, than stop with error. If you start it over again it will download next part and stop again. It will be hard to reproduce as if someone already downloaded video by that link, youtube-dl will download it without a problem.
