Describe the current behavior

Hi, I can import videos via X/Twitter but not from youtube, I tried multible videos, that are public available and not age restriced, not unlisted, I get an error message "Cannot fetch Information from Import URL". Download a Video from Invidious is also not possible. My Peertube was manually set up some years ago on a LXC Container, this is the first time, I encountered problems with it. If you need Addidtional information, let me know

Steps to reproduce

Publish Video From URL

Hello,

Please paste your server logs

Same problem here. yt-dlp has been seeing this issue due to changes on YouTube's side to aggressively block IP's after some amount of time. It's unclear if they ever remove the IP restriction.

Using the IP of remote runners could be a workaround, so that the PeerTube server's IP is not directly connecting to YouTube.

Another possible solution would be to add a PO token field to the web configuration, and pass along in the command line.
