I also tested with videos from #17604 (comment) and they worked as expected (all working except the one with no embed + age restriction, but latter showin the appropriate error message)

I don't think it has something to do with being age restricted.
The same thing also happens with this video (not age gated): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fd11gQVqy78

Strange, now my video also works also for me. But it definitely didn't worked before. Maybe because it was uploaded only a few hours ago?

Yes....I also catch this error of some videos and have problem with first video from this issue - oijg6zlPYrg
All this videos I can see without autorization in another browser.

First problems with live streams, now this. YouTube decided to ruin the lives of all of us? :)

P.s. One more video with this problem - 6D9abFolBxs. I think this not age restricted also :)

Here is a log of another video with this or a similar problem of 404 of video data, if it's any help, although I don't think this video is age restricted, live stream, or recently added:

how i understand this problem for argument "-f bestvideo" or without any argumentd for a video format. all work fine with argument "-f best", but this argument - not best quality :(

If you check the list of formats and manually select the required one, then the download takes place without problems. I believe that the problem is incorrect calculation of the best quality stream in the current version of the program.

also need check this for "bestaudio" also
