I am facing the same issue on a .net 8 / debian server setup with latest version of YouTube Explode 6.5.0 (was happening also on 6.4.3). It used to work in the past but it's probably just another attempt of youtube to block the downloads.
With cookies, I get back this error:

System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).

at YoutubeExplode.Videos.Streams.StreamClient.GetManifestAsync(VideoId videoId, CancellationToken cancellationToken) in /_/YoutubeExplode/Videos/Streams/StreamClient.cs:line 292

without cookies I get back this error:

YoutubeExplode.Exceptions.VideoUnavailableException: Video 'v_JMkscQuGY' is not available.

From local machine it works properly but not on the server

Do you see this on specific videos? I can't reproduce the issue

Attempt to download the video using a VPN set to Germany; an error message should appear.

All these issues in YoutubeDownloader are related to this. If the error in the library is fixed, these will also be automatically resolved.
