Youtubeexplode: 403 on some videos
On certain videos I am getting 403 when trying to download from the url. Even the 'DemoWpf' app fails to download these videos with same 403 error.
These videos are not age-restricted.

Same, 90% of my 200 ish playlist is giving me a 403 (without a proper error).

From your description it looks like YTE fails to decipher a signature. Does it happen all the time?
I can't reproduce it so it may be that they have some region-specific ciphering logic.

Nevermind, I can actually reproduce it.

Looks like YouTube changed something again, will look into it, no estimate yet.

Hello. I've received this exception too. Yesterday, after few video and audio downloads, I started to receive the same error, after nearly a hour, this problem had gone and all were good. Today is the same situation, think this is youtube's bug or maybe some download restriction, maybe we need to use something like bypass to get rid of this exception.
