Youtube - Access is denied

[LegitSoulja]

I've made a program that plays audio from url streams, instead of downloading. It was all working fine until yesterday it stopped working, now some streams I cannot play . Could it be that Youtube has blocked/limited me from playing streams? I've also tried using proxies, but non of them worked.

It has been 24h since I've been denied access of streams, and doesn't seem this issue will go away. Anyone got ideas why this may be happening, or ways to prevent? Some may say "I'm not using cookies", but it worked fine without until now.

Find something that gives you an error, then do it again with --verbose.

@thegreatestminer Here's the thing, I get no error with youtube-dl, until I get the stream link provided and try playing from it.

However, he's one example

Noting again, only some streams I can play, but most of them will end up returning an Access denied from my audio client. When visiting the link in browser, this will be shown

After looking through other issues, I finally found a solution that fixed it!

For anyone that comes across this issue in the future, use --rm-cache-dir
