Description

Since a few days, I randomly get this error when I download youtube videos (maybe 1 chance out of 15 or 20 to get the error). The error appears on random videos, with or without proxy (for this example, it's with proxy).

Immediately after the error, I just returned the command line and the download went through:

I also regularly have "This video is DRM protected" and "Unable to extract video data" but randomly too. I think it may be related to the problem mentioned.
