hi again,

Maybe i understand what happen. if the video is a different type of .mp4 fault parsed to googlevideo.
if you can help with that i appreciate it a lot.

thanks.

Same issue here.
Here is the video link.

@iBicha when can I expect the updated version?
Our team is using your plugin for our several projects and we should resolve this issue asap.

You need to convert your video to .mp4

[mhadji05]

Sorry but i am not owner or co-owner of this project. I use this project to create something i need. I had the same problem. you can update the Youtube explode plugin and find the public static class Extensions.
On method below you can change the type of video you need or you can make some changes to create a universal tool for every type of video:

public static MuxedStreamInfo WithHighestVideoQualitySupported(this IEnumerable<MuxedStreamInfo> streamInfos)
        {
            if(streamInfos == null)
                throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(streamInfos));
            return streamInfos
                .Where(info => info.Container == Container.Mp4)
                .Select(info => info).OrderByDescending(s => s.VideoQuality).FirstOrDefault();
        }

Hi guys,
I apologize for lack of activity on my side. I've been a bit busy, I do plan on updating this repo and improve things, but I do not have an ETA.
Pull requests are more than welcome in the meantime. Cheers

I would like to contribute, if not comments like @Top-Man's wouldnt keep me from doing so...

I am also receiving the ArgumentNullException error, but I appreciate what you have done with this project so far. I wondered if it was the specific file format that might cause the error but I have 2 files (if you need examples) that are both MP4 and only 1 works, so I'm thinking maybe a specific codec is causing it?

Here are the 2 examples:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjnqfc3vQy4 (does work)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dzikBZTUy8 (doesn't work)

I will push forward including this in my project and hope it gets resolved soon! Thanks again.

It occurs because we need to decrypt some url video,the player do it...
If you see the json no have "url", only "cipher" with "s" and "url"...

see here more
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21496126/android-youtube-download-url-403-forbidden

have 3 implemented modes, one in scala, one in python and one in csharp

In csharp is the best way, I think xD

Any updates regarding this? Has the YoutubeExplode plugin been updated?

[iBicha]

I would like to comment on how this doesn't support all the videos:
Yes, Youtube have mixed encodings, not all videos are encoded the same way.
The check for the MP4 container is a rough failsafe to get a video that Unity can play.
To learn more about supported videos, you can check https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/VideoSources-FileCompatibility.html

Finally, I've updated this package in #10 , feel free to try it and see if it solves your problem.
Cheers
