hmm.... anyone else aware of YT-DLP, the YouTube downloader tool, no longer working recently?

EDIT: Apparently, people are reporting to me that YouTube itself is struggling today. Maybe that's it.

EDIT2: YT-DLP appears to have increased some dwell time in their script recently AND there were, indeed, reports of things at YouTube being all porkchop sandwiches the other day... so between an updated version of the tool and the datacenter no longer on fire or whatever, downloading wiht YT-DLP appears to work properly again. 👍

@deviantollam ik the issue is solved, but fwiw youtube has been making downloading a lot harder to the point that you might need to do some extra setup for yt-dlp, such as importing browser cookies or pulling out the po token, and of course making sure you're up to date

if you need something in a pinch, there are community mirrors of cobalt that do still support youtube downloads (eg https://cobalt.meowing.de/)
