Streamlink just doesn’t work for any youtube video anymore.
I’ve faced with similar issue with following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UhkgggX_-QE&feature=youtu.be
@liamkennedy Sure no problem. It’s mostly just a stance we’ve had to take against adding new VOD only sites since that kind of defeats the purpose of Streamlink and we were getting a lot of requests for sites that already exist in tools like youtube-dl so I have to make sure to say that it’s the main focus so no one comes back to quote this issue going “well you fixed youtube!”. All the maintainers have been pretty busy with real life stuff sadly so we’ve only been hitting more critical issues as of late.
@liamkennedy it was too random so i´m not using it for youtube vods anymore, i´m trying out youtube-dl for the time being and it’s working fine. It has the downside that i have to teach my homebrew ui to use it instead of streamlink but it’s a nice exercise. You might want to try older vods, my last experience with youtube vods was that newer vods didn’t work and older did. but i suppose that if they are spreading the change backwards eventually none will.
