You are correct about me using a vpn to change my IP… I probably should been more descriptive.

Side note, thanks for helping OP in my absence.

A lot of this has to do with youtube blocking IP addresses. When it happens to me I change IP and it works again.

How have you installed the yt-dlp app? Through apt or with pip? You can probably get faster updates if you use pip.

There are some legal reasons to think about. Some states require both parties to know and agree to the recording. Other states only require single party.
