Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden) appears for every video.

[HorizonOfek]

Downloading no longer functions and always shows the error message "Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden)".

Hey, I'm aware of the issue and working on a fix. I dont know how long it will take because I'm under fire from Hezbollah, I hope to finish it by next week. In the meantime, if anyone wants to make a PR to solve it - go ahead.

Stay safe and take your time, brother.

im having the same error

pretty sure youtube decided to stop us from downloading stuff and so it throws up a 403 error

[na791]

any idea on whether it will be possible to fix it?

[dbrewerton]

Got the same issue.

[cristianst85]

Yes, everyone has the same issue. Apparently updating YoutubeExplode library to the latest version (6.4.2) fixes this issue.

[dani31c]

@shaked6540 I dont know if this has been reported too, but there is also another error, which is something around these lines: verify that you are not a robot

[cristianst85]

Was reported in #361, but I don't think there is something we can/should do about that.

[Neimod2004]

Same problem, I am using cli yt-dlp, but it is a lot slower because I can't use a queue

[Kamwebdev]

Yes, everyone has the same issue. Apparently updating YoutubeExplode library to the latest version (6.4.2) fixes this issue.

It works! Thanks!

Steps to build own fixed copy:

1. I clone fully repository to C:\Users\my_username\Downloads\YoutubePlaylistDownloader
2. Manual apply commit by changing one line in file.
3. The next step was build package (only open YoutubePlaylistDownloader.sln by JetbrainsRider and click run).
4. After that i copy ffpmeg.exe from old downloader from: C:\Program Files (x86)\YouTube Playlist Downloader\ffmpeg.exe
   to:" C:\Users\my_username\Downloads\YoutubePlaylistDownloader\YoutubePlaylistDownloader\bin\Debug\net8.0-windows\ffmpeg.exe
5. The last step was click "run" again.

[colt4567]

Thank you very much. It work.

Update YoutubeExplode.dll 6.4.2.

[Neimod2004]

Thank you so much for the solution

[MonsieurOrnix]

Thank you very much. After an update of the NuGet package YoutubeExplode, it works for me too. תודה רבה שתהיה שנה יותר טובה

[JPCAlencar]

How are you doing, guys? Can anyone help me real quick? Where do I find where to commit? I browsed through YoutubeExplode.dll in Notepad, but it's in binary. I couldn't find where to make the change. Do I have to do it in YoutubeExplode.dll or in another file? I'm kinda lost hahaha

[MonsieurOrnix]

@JPCAlencar In YoutubePlaylistDownloader.csproj, line 78. Or this command in the project folder : dotnet add package YoutubeExplode --version 6.4.3

[JPCAlencar]

@MonsieurOrnix ok, i will try here and i comeback to tell if i figured out

[JPCAlencar]

@MonsieurOrnix Man, I went to the YoutubePlaylistDownloader folder and didn’t find the 'YoutubePlaylistDownloader.csproj' file. I’m not sure if I installed it wrong or if it didn’t come. Where can I find the .csproj? Is it in a subfolder?

After run "git clone https://github.com/shaked6540/YoutubePlaylistDownloader", you will find file in YoutubePlaylistDownloader folder. If not, you can run "git checkout v1.9.24" in folder.

[MonsieurOrnix]

@JPCAlencar Did you clone the repository ? If not, there's a simple solution : download the package here. Change the .nupkg extension to .zip in order to unzip the file. In /lib/net8.0, you'll find the YoutubeExplode.dll file you need to copy in order to replace the old one (in C:\Program Files (x86)\YouTube Playlist Downloader).

[JPCAlencar]

@MonsieurOrnix Thanks, man! You’re a G.O.A.T. I’ve been trying to make this work all day, and you helped me 100%. I really appreciate it! Have a good one!

[msarun77]

@MonsieurOrnix Thank you. It worked.

[shaked6540]

Should be solved in the latest update (1.9.25)

[dbrewerton]

Great work, it's working beautifully now. Confirmed fix.
