Other youtube frontends have the same problem as it seems.

  • https://github.com/play-dl/play-dl/issues/370

It looks like youtube is blocking IPs from access without sign in. But users have reported that using their actual cookie, got them banned. So that isn't really a solution.

It seems like the cobalt client might have solved it using OAuth tokens. That might also work for this project. https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/issues/551

That would make sense for YouTube, but I can't even get it working for Spotify. Is it breaking both?

This didn't work for me but you could try this PR: https://github.com/museofficial/muse/pull/1195
