I get now also the 403 Firbidden error when calling
var streamManifest = await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(video.Id); on all the videos I try.
I use also version 6.5.0.
A few days ago it still worked.

hi there
been trying this now, and getting "forbidden" on any video...

[mohanadshaban]

Same here...

[udi12]

Is this happening for every1 or is just my IP blocked?
Because with a browser, I can watch videos when logged-in.
In Incognito mode however, videos not playing... is this a block sign?

[udi12]

Well, it was a temporary block. I tried again after a few days and everything worked just fine. Maybe my IP was renewed by the ISP.

Please take a look at the downloader variant I have coded:

Same issue here on version 6.4.2 and 6.5.1:
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: 'Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).'
at last line of TryGetContentLengthAsync:

response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();

Same issue with all videos I have tested. Location is Germany, if that matters. Same result on VPN. Using youtube in incognito mode works without problems. I can provide further information and help debugging if wanted.
