Description

Hi guys! I have Youtube Music Premium and it would be so awesome to get that sweet (141) 256kbps ACC, but I keep getting "WARNING: Unable to look up account info: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request". I tried using cookies too, but in vain. I read that there is a similar unresolved problem with youtube-dl with the dev keep ignoring it or something. Any ideas if this can be resolved? Or perhaps I'm doing something wrong? Thanks heaps!

P.s. this is my first report, let me know if I have missed something.

There is a kinda bit thread on reddit about it and some issue https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/26067
I do not have youtube music (premium or whatsoever). But no clue how difficult this problem will be. It seems complex.

Thanks for the reply. Apparently the described issue was closed incorrectly without any solution and the problem remains to be outgoing...
