bug description

two videos tonight give the error "youtube updated something about its api and i couldn't get any info about this video. try again in a few seconds, but if this issue sticks, please report it!" so now i'm reporting it because it's been a few minutes and it hasn't worked!

1. go to cobalt.tools
2. paste these links "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTHZPh-IJF0" or "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmh1YMfev50"
3. observe error

I think it has spread beyond new YouTube users. My account is from the beginning of time and yet I can no longer download videos using cobalt.tools as of today. Has anyone found any workarounds?

seems to work fine now on my side
