Yes I have an absolutely identical problem. I have tried all video resolutions, all formats, but in the end I always get an error. In addition, I checked that Raycast has permissions to the folder where the video will be downloaded and that I have ffmpeg installed.
The error appears to be caused by the ytdl-core package. There is also an issue with 403 download failures.
The error message for the YouTube Downloader extension is:

I have the same problem. When I try to download a video from YouTube, the extension says "Download failed. Please try again later". I tried the old version of ffmpeg (6.1 stable), used many variations of path to ffmpeg and ffprobe, reinstalled/installed Raycast, extension, ffmpeg, but it didn't work at all. Please push fix.
