Youtube Music Premium Account - cannot download, even using cookies (getting "Video unavailable") #28883
Comments
Do you have any other examples of YTM "premium only" videos? That one gives me video unavailable in the browser even though I have premium.
these options don't work for youtube extractor afaik. Have to use cookies. |

Interesting and slightly confusing.
That album doesn't work for me, however if I use a VPN to US it works. So that issue might be regional.
But on the VPN I can play the album & the earlier song both with no premium/account and when I'm on my premium account.
For you, if it was YTM & premium only (i.e. won't play on normal YT) then I would expect the erroneous behaviour you see as yt-dl requests everything as the normal yt web client.
But the same behaviour happens if there is some regional block. :/
There was some discussion here with some people mentioning similar to what you are seeing https://www.reddit.com/r/YoutubeMusic/comments/kuzyun/free_vs_premium_and_unavailable_tracks/
Possibly could be regional block where they deny non-premium users or everyone in some places?

- Here is an entire album that is premium only: https://music.youtube.com/browse/MPREb_OYSfQZ2Pm9g
- Regarding cookies only working for the youtube extractor - that's good to know, but it's weird that the --cookies option isn't working though.

Holy crap, I tried using (I'm currently outside the US, the track does work outside the US in the browser) |
Yay! Most likely a region block of some sort then.

I have same error with my library on music.youtube.com, I put all cookies and get "video unavailable" message. Just upload your audiobook to music.youtube.com and try to download it - fails! |
@axet - did you try running your script with a VPN (US-based)? It worked for me |
Nope, my browser works fine, I expect youtube_dl works as well. This is a my uploads to music.youtube.com, I'm pretty sure it is not required a VPN (and I do not have one). |
If I were you, I would check this with a VPN (assuming you're getting the same error as I did) - since it did work for me from the browser, but not from youtube-dl. Once I ran the script via the US-based VPN -> it worked! |
