Relock yt-dlp to 2026.8.19 to fix YouTube 403 on download - #397
Merged
Conversation
YouTube changed how it serves media streams; the pinned 2026.7.4 build 403s fetching the actual audio stream while yt-dlp's latest release succeeds. Confirmed by reproducing the failure with the old pin and a clean download with the new one against the same video.
