same issue here, guessing it is a typical youtube problem rather than a tech bug.

YouTube has been going on a crusade against downloader utilities recently. See this comment I made on this issue involving yt-dlp for additional details. In short, DON'T PASS COOKIES.

Tldr: Change the instance in the settings.

After #6381, you can go to
Settings -> Instance and enable Disable Piped proxy as well as Local streams extraction if your obligated to use a public instance.

Private instances are likely still working in most cases anyways.

I will publish a new release in some time.
