Additional information

I had been watching a video before this and it was perfectly fine. It was clicking on a new video that everything stopped working all at once, trying to re click the video I had been watching didn't work

Seems to affect multiple versions as I was on 0.27.6 when I first encountered this

[Thomasnlm]

Seems like a larger issue

ERROR: [youtube] leAeQ0rdgUI: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-yt-dlp for how to manually pass cookies. Also see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Extractors#exporting-youtube-cookies for tips on effectively exporting YouTube cookies

Can play just fine from my browser

Seems to be working now??

Please copy paste formatted error report next time, you have to scroll down a little bit on the error page to get "copy formatted report" button. Thank you.
