I've been using mpv for a while, but now whenever I try to play a youtube video the following output shows up: [ffmpeg] https: HTTP error 403 Forbidden Failed to open https://rr5 . . . EDL: Could not open source file: 'https://rr5 . . .' No video or audio streams selected. Oddly, I can play videos on other platforms, such as Odysee and Rumble. I've looked for answers in this substack and elsewhere and haven't found a solution for this specifically.
