In case this helps the developer, the regular download page on YouTube now requires you to login, but the embed code URL still lets you access it without logging in.

@tenshon which regular download page are you referring to?

Sorry I meant accessing the regular youtube video page requires login, but the embed link page does not. Presuming you're using that to scrape the download info and it's failing because it requires you to login.

No, it's retrieved straight from the player response: https://github.com/Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode/blob/e4670068e9895e03a66a64547d9830f81abd5202/YoutubeExplode/Videos/VideoController.cs#L45-L152

So they changed that to require authentication now?

Any thoughts on how to workaround it? Any way to exploit the HTML embed player response that doesn't require authentication?
