Can't download from YouTube, getting Forbidden message

Last update: 02.11.2024

The error message looks something like this and the download always fails.

This is a new approach from YouTube to stop you guys from downloading content (they think it's their content, but it's not).

The only way to avoid this is to install the latest update, the version number should be 3.9.9.96 or higher. All previous versions will fail to download.

The easiest way to do so is to go to Preferences -> General -> Reinstall
