Unable to download video from YouTube

Version

6.2.2

Details

When attempting to download a video after retrieving playlist/video information just fine, an exception is thrown stating the video is unavailable. Two users of the plugin I work on and myself have reported this bug and it seems pretty consistent.

Seems like this version at least has stopped functioning within the past week or so. Might be a change on Youtube’s side, especially since this repo and the plugin have been pretty stagnant.

The call (from https://github.com/joyrider3774/PlayniteSound/blob/main/Downloaders/YtDownloader.cs#LL118C26-L118C26):

await _youtubeClient.Videos.DownloadAsync(song.Id, path, o => o.SetFFmpegPath(_settings.FFmpegPath));

@Tyrrrz I get the same issue as originally posted in this issue but using the latest version 6.2.15.

This is not related to this issue at all. I tried to pull that video and it worked for me, so might be transient issue.
