StreamFab for Windows YouTube Download dosn't work

[TomG69]

I think downloading regular YouTube videos is not possible...

I think downloading regular YouTube videos is not possible...

Yeah, I see that also. Gets stuck in the download queue at analyzing.

Log says ...

Thought I would try 6227, but no go (stuck in queue at analyzing), and log... (6227 did work when it came out.)

FRUSTRATING OTHER YOUTUBE DOWNLOADER WORKS...

Strange results. Put a YouTube video in the download queue and closed 6228 and went back to 6225 and video downloaded from queue

I was only able to reproduce the above once.
So still looking...

OK, I can recreate this now. NEED to be logged OUT of YouTube and can get it to download from download queue (made via 6228) with 6225.

Trying with 6228 logged out of YouTube does not work.

I have the same issue with other downloaders that I use.

[Stan001]

I have the same issue with other downloaders that I use.

Hmm. Yesterday I got at least 2 other YouTube downloaders to work, I will have to check again today.

This topic and the one >here are the same issue. YouTube needs to stop making changes. :/

[cscarlet]

Yeah having same issue and seems to be a 403 error, YouTube seem to be denying access to at least the mp3 portion of the Streamfab program. I have logged ticket WC1743925506T0139
