Can you post the output when you add the --print-traffic flag?

[ShadowCreator]

Sure. Also it's on a Chromebook via crouton if that's helpful in any way.

This is unlikely to be caused by the platform. Instead, it looks very much either like a temporary failure on YouTube's end or meddling of some kind of proxy in between. Can you reproduce the error with another ISP, or a VPN, or a proxy server?

[ShadowCreator]

Okay, I'll have another look once I get home in a few hours, I've been attempting on School WiFi.

Great to hear youtube-dl works now! What did you change to effect this fix?

[ShadowCreator]

Unfortunately I don't actually know. I asked the IT guys about what might be wrong and they said they'll make some changes to the proxy and now it works, so I'm guessing it was a proxy problem and not a youtube-dl problem. But thanks so much for helping out!
