Yep I just updated it still won’t download anything

Yep just tried another youtube downloader still doesn’t work lmao. Can’t download any video of youtube this fucking sucks lmao

Maybe something to do with your IP, maybe they’re blocking it somehow or testing a new system. Check via a vpn if you can and see if that works.

Download the 4k Video Downloader. It allows you to download 10 videos a day for free. Videos I was having an incredibly difficult time figuring out how to download are downloaded without a thought with this thing.

Nope still can’t download unfortunately. I keep getting the same message sign in to prove your not a bot for some reason

Try this, it’ll download using the cookies from the youtube account you’re signed in as on your browser.
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser chrome -- URL
Assuming you use chrome, change to firefox if you use that etc.

Yeah that’s the only method that has somewhat worked for me. I was trying to download a playlist of videos that I had and It only downloaded around half.

I think you have to sign in, but there’s no subscription required.

i found this literally yesterday and it’s been working for me so far:
