Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Downloading of Youtube Red videos appears to be broken. The following is a log of an attempt with a valid Youtube Red account with 2FA disabled to rule out that possibility. It seems like it attempts to get it, fails, and then falls back to downloading the trailer. I can provide credentials via PM in the IRC channel.

Tested on: OS X 10.12.3

@dstftw Here we are: youtube.txt

(A bit more of a backstory: I'm currently not in my home country and think I may have triggered a security check the first time I tried it)

This time it seemed like it was working, but I was connected through my home VPN which is very slow and I didn't want to wait 13 hours. The file size seems like it might have been the right video? Unless the preview is also in 4K and is somehow ~700MB.

I have an issue that looks to be the same. I am in the US and am using the US YouTube. I am running youtube-dl 2017.04.17 on Ubuntu 16.04. I am attempting to download a video on YouTube that I paid for and I am also getting

Skipping DASH manifest: ExtractorError(u'Failed to download MPD manifest: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by HTTPError());

I end up with a file that has no video and the audio appears to be dead air. I am attaching the output: yt-dl_err.txt

.

I have the same issue with purchases on regular youtube.

When trying to downloaded purchased videos I get this in the log window:

WARNING: [youtube] 0vubfaM2QXk: Skipping DASH manifest: ExtractorError(u'Failed to download MPD manifest: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by HTTPError());

The video downloads but I get no audio and black screen only when I try to play back.

Here is the verbose output:
ytdl-verbose.txt

I am running on a system with Ubuntu 16.04 Server.

I have the same issue with a purchase made in Denmark and trying to download in the US. The free preview is downloaded instead.

Output with -v --dump-pages: youtubedl.txt

EDIT: Downloading in Denmark works just fine.

But a download in Denmark would work?
