Could not parse the Youtube page #306

Closed gary-89 closed 6 years ago

error 403

Could not parse the Youtube page for URL http://youtube.com/watch?v=1FExIWex_vc This may be due to a change of the Youtube page structure. Please report this bug at www.github.com/flagbug/YoutubeExtractor/issues.

What can I do?

I often get a System.Net.WebException: 403 Forbidden when I call the .Execute method of VideoDownloader.

Parsing the error, I've found that the issue may be caused by a missing SSL request (watch the image).

Any help?

I get both of these issues too, only happens on certain videos I've noticed, however. Any fixes for this would be greatly appreciated.

In the end, I've decided to NOT use this library anymore.. It's not working and it is not well maintained. Instead use: YoutubeExplode It works MUCH better
