Extract Error Could not download dash manifest HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

[Bryannn]

Hi, I'm not able to download any videos from YouTube it gives me this error. Extract Error Could not download dash manifest HTTP Error 403: Forbidden I have the latest version installed. Would downgrading to the last worked version fix this issue and if it would could someone give me the commands to downgrade to the previous version. Thanks

This is the exact error:

[youtube] Mk7-GRWq7wA: Downloading webpage [youtube] Mk7-GRWq7wA: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] Mk7-GRWq7wA: Extracting video information [youtube] Mk7-GRWq7wA: Downloading DASH manifest WARNING: [youtube] Mk7-GRWq7wA: Skipping DASH manifest: ExtractorError(u'Could n ot download DASH manifest: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by HTTPError()); pl ease report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .

my friend helped me fix the problem, the solution:

open your cmd panel fill your path in together with the command --no-cache-dir (+ a random youtube link) into your cmd

for example: "C:\SinusBot\youtube-dl.exe" --no-cache-dir "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpbjEttizy8"

and its fixed, no problem ;)

Excellent. Adding the -no-cache-dir option fixes the download. Originally the problem sometimes only occurred when using -k option but adding no cache dir seems to fix it. Thanks!
