"Please sign in" error; unable to get video or audio manifests

[DeveloperJake1]

Version

6.4.3

Platform

.NET Standard 2.1

Steps to reproduce

Run the following code:

var youtube = new YoutubeClient();

var videoUrl = '';
await youtube.Videos.DownloadAsync(videoUrl, pwy);

or..

await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(videoUrl, cancelToken);

var streamInfo = streamManifest
       .GetVideoOnlyStreams()
       .Where(s => s.Container == Container.Mp4)
       .GetWithHighestVideoQuality();

Or simply try to download a video in any way.

Details

When I execute any method which involves getting the Manifest of a video, the system throws the error which is printed below.

This was not recently happening, and is just now occurring potentially due to a patch from youtube side. From other posts, the solution seems to be by using a different repository to create a sign in function; however, this is not optimal for all types of apps/websites which relied on Youtube Explode's non-login based repo.

VideoUnplayableException: Video '' is unplayable. Reason: 'Please sign in'.

At the moment, Yt Explode is unusable on my side.

I have noticed when a video is blocked in your country, you receive an error. For instance, these 2 videos (TII6YfZ4xqw and 32G2evH77yE) are blocked in my country and I'm encounter this error when attempting to retrieve the video manifest:

Video video = await youtube.Videos.GetAsync(url);
StreamManifest manifest = await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(video.Id);

Exception has occurred: CLR/YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoUnplayableException
An exception of type 'YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoUnplayableException' occurred in System.Private.CoreLib.dll but was not handled in user code: 'Video '32G2evH77yE' is unplayable. Reason: 'Please sign in'.'

The video isn't blocked in my country. It does this with every video, including the sample blender one.
