I'm getting this issue as well with YouTube videos.

Fix available — PR #24

Root cause: YouTube started enforcing SABR streaming which blocks older yt-dlp versions (2025.10.14 and below) with HTTP Error 403: Forbidden.

Fix: Upgrade to yt-dlp 2026.3.17 or higher.

If you already have a venv, recreate it:

rm -rf venv && ./reclip.sh

This will pull the latest yt-dlp automatically.
