Question

I'm trying to download a youtube video, and this is inevitably the result, even though I can download other videos from youtube just fine:

$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/embed/9dwNRpqcIEc[youtube] 9dwNRpqcIEc: Downloading webpage [youtube] 9dwNRpqcIEc: Downloading video info webpage WARNING: Requested formats are incompatible for merge and will be merged into mkv. ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Does anyone have any ideas as to what's going on?

Cheers

Perhaps this should actually be under the bug label, but I can't figure out how to add or change it.

Incomplete? What is wrong with this issue? @dstftw
