[XeonFolf]

Same issue here, very certain YouTube is doing something in the background to try to stop people from downloading videos on the platform.

[Tyrrrz]

Does the 400 bad request error only happen if you're authenticated in the app? Or all the time?

Trying to see if this is related to #548

same error for me after the update...

[Nitrowing]

Same error on 1.14.1

[Tyrrrz]

On 1.14.1 try logging out first

[Gitzfitz]

I tried that myself, and I'm still getting the error.

At this point, I don't know if it's YouTube or the Downloader that's screwing this up. But it's preventing me from downloading any video.

[JulianLundh]

Same on 1.14.1, however works if i sign out

[Nitrowing]

I'm logged off on Firefox and authenticated in 1.14.1 but still get the 400 error

[Gitzfitz]

Got to sign out of 1.14.1. That's the only solution I can find until when/if this issue can be given a permanent fix.

[bendarus]

i am tired sometime works fine the sometime error, mostly error.
i cant login because i deleted edge.
the on solution is use other downloader by aandrew-me , it just they dont support mov_text, yet.

There is one issue I noticed with all the downloaders, it's that you can't download videos that are marked as explicit, even after authentication.

Again, I don't know if this is YouTube being YouTube, or an issue with the software itself, but it's a pattern I've noticed.

[sina-ss]

Same issue. It doesn't work in either case, whether I'm signed in or not.

[Nitrowing]

As soon as I set that to use my Firefox cookies it downloaded the file I wanted with no issue. Thank you.

[12345xinkai]

The same fucking error befalls on me. Please fix it immediately

[anddyshen]

I got same issue, whether I'm signed in or not.

[raminmjj]

It's weird, because when I want to download the video from this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7oQ4q62jCc
the application notified me, and I had to sign in, after that I got the same error message, and then I logged out as you mentioned and now the application has started to download the video.

[nestg]

Same problem again with version 1.14.1
