Description

A couple days ago, I wanted to download some audio from a private YouTube playlist on my account. I went to use my usual commands and kept on getting 'Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request.' Today, I tried again to no prevail.

I believe that YouTube changed something on their end recently and that is why I am getting this error. I am drawn to this conclusion as I started getting the error out of the blue without updating YouTube-DL at all. I was also able to replicate this same error on other Windows computers as well.

I know this issue has already been addressed in other reports, but just wanted to add some other details that might help get this issue resolved.
