The temporary workaround from version 4.7.3 for extracting YouTube videos while logged in is no longer working. YouTube has switched to a more advanced encryption system to block third-party apps like ours from using login credentials.

Our current login extraction setup is completely incompatible with this new encryption. The wider YouTube open-source community hasn't found a working decryption method yet. We're actively researching solutions for logged-in extraction, but it may take some time.

In the meantime, please avoid logging in. If you see an "IP blocked" error, try changing your IP (e.g., using a VPN).
