Hi any luck with that problem? I been trying to figure out why this happens, when I download the ipa from here the problem appears, but if I download the ipa directly from appdb with my cetificates on the appdb website the downloads on the uyou app work any ideas
Even though I am using the jailbroken version of uYou, I am getting the same error, believe they are related, so am replying here in an atttempt to help. (I can still download from my premium account native button just the UYou doesn't work anymore.)
Interestingly, yt-dlp tool still works like a charm if you have ssh or bash access. yt-dlp 'ytsearch:Some video name' will DL and save to my device in a separate folder perfectly. Or you can use the link if you know it.
I think a recent update changed where the offline content is stored, and they seem to have made it a little more difficult to just grab the files, as the audio and video are split up, and they have a metadata file in each media folder specifying where the audio is, the codex, where the video(s) are, and requirements for downloaded media to play in metadata.
Previously there was a folder I had favorited in Filza as YTOffline_2736383637373 (the numbers are different too lazy to copy).
That folder no longer exists in the latest YouTube app(actually it was moved, but the contents are slightly different).
Now downloaded content goes to "/Contaimers/Data/Application/YouTube's long identifier/Library/ApplicationSupport/Media/Offline/YTOffline_10309554950735915****/individualDLFolder/media"
**** I appended this string in case the long number is an identifier unique to my account. (I haven't looked into YouTube very much until recently.)
*individualDLFolder = unique folder string for each DL
Also in the same URL is "/metadata". The metadata has an expiration date or a keep alive depending on Premium status, as well as a tokenID and other required items for the media file to play once renamed with the proper extension.
Here is a sample metadata for one of my downloads, which may be different as I have the paid YouTube membership. Anyways you can see what it's asking for and values that work, just please don't use any personally identifying info.
Example metadata.data file needed for download to play outside of YouTube app, and I imagine to play at all if the expiration date or time comes.

Most likely the appdb has an older version of YouTube, as I believe it is the most recent update that broke it.
