So I was trying to download some funny audios from YouTube and the message “error:%20%5Byoutube%5D%20nTeiammyfVI%3A%20Sign%20in%20to%20confirm%20you're%20not%20a%20bot.%20This%20helps%20protect%20our%20community.%20Learn%20more” pops up and all there is to click is ok and I’ve tried many things but doesn’t seem to work. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your time.

What have you tried to resolve the issue?

I used the command "internalbrowser https://www.youtube.com" on the a-Shell mini app, now the error is this (image). I tried to use the same method that it used to download things from private accounts on Instagram, it works in some way, but not in the way we needed it to work, I think the shortcut will need an update for it to work properly. I tried downloading with the default quality, and some specific quality too, but got the same error.

It seems to me that the original error of this issue has to do with Youtube's efforts to block various tools (yt-dlp, invidious, newpipe, etc).

The main way to avoid these errors is to ensure the latest version of yt-dlp is installed. The shortcut doesn't do that automatically (but it does have a manual process to upgrade it)

Ill release a small fix for a cookie error other users reported, then I'll work on this

got it to work by sign in into `internalbrowser https://youtube.com' from a-Shell first, then following on @net00-1 advice to update the yt-dlp manually by changing "deleteAll" to 'true' in the shortcut setup and run once. set it back to 'false' and we're back to business again.
