Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The video referenced in this issue is private and available for playback in browser under my youtube account.

Downloading it used to work few days ago.
Today I tried to download, and it no longer works.
Apparently, youtube have changed something so the private videos are not downloadable any more.
