- we tried one more solution to fix downloading from youtube, but it doesn't scale. it'll be broken until we figure it out. the problem is not on our side, it's youtube pushing even more restrictions than before. we did all we could to let people have free access to information.
- services other than youtube are not affected and work just like before (except for twitter, cobalt supports downloading nsfw posts again!) you can read more about the youtube issue here: github.com/imputnet/cob... if you have an idea, please make a pull request!
- saving from youtube might work once in a while, but we can't promise 100% reliability just like before. we'll keep trying, but in all honesty, both of us are exhausted and extremely demotivated 🫠Mar 19, 2025 19:17
- youtube downloading is fixed reliably! (for now, at least) go try it with various settings, all formats & qualities should be back: cobalt.tools it’s unknown for how long this will last, but hopefully it’ll be all sunshine and rainbows for a bit
