Presumably the same issue and fix as yt-dlp#5918, with this common feature:

The original title was better!

I'm having a similar problem "No Video Formats found" with SBS. I see the green lozenge patch-available. Not sure how I use that ? Thx

Similar, not the same. 400 means yt-dl didn't send a request that had what the site expected; 403 means the site saw yt-dl's request and denied access to yt-dl.

You may need to provide --username ... --password ..., or, more likely to succeed, pass cookies from your logged-in browser session using --cookies ....

If you don't succeed please open a new broken site issue.

Same issue, this fixed it for me. Thanks! For Mac users who installed ytdl with brew, wondering where this file is: /opt/homebrew/Cellar/youtube-dl/<version>/libexec/lib/python3.12/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor

note the above does not work for locked content:

> curl link.theplatform.com/s/NnzsPC/media/guid/2304992029/3448375?switch=HLSServiceSecure
{
        "title": "Invalid Token",
        "description": "This content requires a valid, unexpired auth token.",
        "isException": true,
        "exception": "InvalidAuthToken",
        "responseCode": "403"
}

but if you have a Widevine setup you can get it:
