Got the same problem, Tyrrrz. I am using the latest and greatest V1.9.10 (via auto update) Even tried with a new download of the stable binaries from GitHub. Error only occurs a while after download has started, thus downloading the same file in different formats succeeds if the file can be downloaded fast enough for the error emission not to kick in.
I tried a video of about 1 hr playing time with the format from 1080p down to 480p which all failed. The 360p resolution, however, and the mp4 audio file worked just fine. Seems like YT now detects applications which keep downloading (on the same connection?? via HTTP?!) for an extended period of time (beyond simple buffering?) HTTP status 403 indication varies for me between 10 and 20 seconds into the download. Videos that take no more than 20 seconds to grab typically succeed.
Hope this information helps.
On this opportunity I’d also like to say thank you for this great utility which helps me pursue my learning efforts off-line with no distraction. I only watch educational content downloaded using your application.
And finally I’d like to send my best wishes and regards to you and all the people in the Україна. You have my sympathy and at least some monetary support, folks 🤝
Looks like YouTube may have changed something. Would take a while to figure out. For now, see if retrying a couple of times (or later) helps work around the issue.
