JDownloader seems to be having the same problem, by the way. Looks like YouTube found a way to detect download attempts and locked them out with 403

[MrDapsteyLow]

All my downloads fail too. I noticed that the audio file itself is still saved to the disc, but without the cover and all metadata. Perhaps the error occurs at the stage of its installation?

[ThreeProphets]

On my machine I just have empty folders even with raw media download enabled, no actual file I can play. Same result as JDownloader. I'm on Windows 11

[moddroid94]

this may be related to yt-dlp being outdated, i saw there are some upstream updates and i heard they made some changes recently.

i'll try to build an alpha with the bumped deps and i'll post the link to the artifacts if you want to try it.

EDIT: Here's the build run, you'll find binaries at the bottom when completed.

This works on my end in standard mode, but in raw download mode I seem to be getting corrupted files. Want me to test anything else in particular?

edit: so this fixed the 403 error?

can you post the logs of when you try to download something in raw? probably something ffmpeg related, idk the raw format of yt-dlp

[ThreeProphets]

Yes, no more 403. Now I have files that won't play (only when set to raw). Raw for yt-dlp is usually m4a but occasionally opus for some reason

onthespot.log

Ah yes, i forgot we don't log anything basically ahahaha there's no clue in the logs, i will need to check the code.
Do you have an idea if the raw problem is with both m4a and opus sources?
