Discovered this whilst trying to debug why my Youtube frontend no longer works:

$ youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpiK1FMy2Mg'
[youtube] YpiK1FMy2Mg: Downloading webpage

Same here:

$ youtubedr download 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpiK1FMy2Mg'
2024/11/23 09:01:12 download to directory .
time=2024-11-23T09:01:12.946+10:00 level=INFO msg="Downloading video" id=YpiK1FMy2Mg quality=medium mimeType="video/mp4; codecs=\"av01.0.01M.08\""
chunk at offset 0 has invalid size: expected=10485760 actual=0

What Iโ€™m seeing is some kind of detection going on and the CDN servers responding with 0 bytes.
