[Resolved] Issue with Video Download After Upgrading to v1.13.2 - HttpRequestException: 403 Forbidden

[abcd255060]

Hello,

I have been using this program for video downloads without any issues for the past few days. However, after downloading a new version (v1.13.2), I encountered a problem today. When I attempt to download a video from YouTube, the following error occurs:

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).

Issue Details:

The issue started after upgrading the program to version v1.13.2.
The error indicates a 403 (Forbidden) HTTP status code, preventing me from downloading videos from YouTube.
The error seems to originate from the YoutubeExplode library, specifically in handling stream data retrieval.

Request:

Could you please assist me in resolving this issue? I have attached a screenshot of the error for your reference.

Thank you for your help!

Resolution:

Today, after launching the program, it automatically upgraded to version v1.13.3, and the issue has been resolved.

It's unfortunate this doesn't work anymore.

Most of the other video downloaders I used to use can't download anything but 360p videos off YouTube now, if they work at all.

EDIT: After an update on 9/28/24 it's working again!
