fishsoup1 · 2024-11-27T07:13:46Z

This error appears on many websites, is the website's encryption algorithm updated?

ckgithub2019 · 2025-01-22T05:34:13Z

Have you ever get the error like "you-get: Server refused to provide video details. Returned status: LOGIN_REQUIRED."?
you-get 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNQXAC9IVRw'

Forest-Lee · 2025-07-26T13:23:32Z

For network issue, try closing your proxy client, such as clash.
And same TypeError on youtube.

I have the same issue with you.
No idea how to figure it out.
Try with different versions of Python, for example 3.13.9, 3.14.0, no resolution.
