Well, you could try running
wget 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdAapVZFS1g'(or using curl) and see what happens, it could be usefult to inspect the webpage they get. I asked about the network and other stuff because a user had the same problem when running youtube-dl in AWS (#6072) and others can’t use it with OVH (#5138).
