As of this moment, the last commit to yt-dlp was only 13 hours ago: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp What you're experiencing is not necessarily an issue with yt-dlp per se, but might be because the status of a given video might have changed (e.g. its settings might have been changed to prevent access from certain regions, which is something i occasionally experience). Can you confirm that the two videos you're referring to are still accessible to you when visiting them on the YouTube site? The other issue is that yt-dlp involves an 'arms race' between, on the one hand, YouTube trying to make life difficult (or impossible) for such programs, and on the other, devs and maintainers constantly having to try to find workarounds. So it might be that YouTube has put something in place which will require a bit of time to develop a workaround for. Alexis.
