WARNING: video doesn't have subtitles
ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
The point is that the data isn't transmitted well from the server to the client {i}.
Is it because you tried to download more than 2500 videos?
Also, is it a form of being stuck in the data capacity? please tell me.
Unfortunately unfortunately all I can do is reopen cmd.
Can you solve it by adding the IP address if necessary? [x]
