Youtube is acting up

re: Videotube Downloader v14.24.0323 on Win11 Pro.

Youtube seems to be acting up! When I drag and drop videos (well, their thumbnails) into the download list, approximately 70% of the times I do not get the video that I expected. Instead, I get a 5 minutes long 360p MP4 Dash video, 0.30MB in size, without sound, that only shows an error message against a black background. The error message is: "The following content is not available on this app. Watch this content on the latest version of Youtube".

I think the problem is very easy to reproduce. Just drag and drop a Youtube video repeatedly from your browser into Videotube. 10 times or so. Some entries in the download list will look OK (e.g. 720 HD - MP4 Dash [3.27 MB] ) but some will say 360p - MP4 Dash [0.30MB] and those are the weird ones with the error message.

(p.s. I do not use the 'quick drag and drop' mode)

Same here. Most of the videos which are usually at 1080p or 2160p are appearing as 360p max. I have to input the same video multiple times to get the proper video resolution. Youtube can be really annoying every time it makes these kinds of changes.
Hope ChrisPC will get this issue sorted soon. Thanks!

Thanks for confirming the problem, Aznshow!

I'll attach an example of the weird 'error code videos'. I tried to download this music video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6CK72kMb_U

And what I got is the attached .MP4 file (I have zipped it).

Try latest version 14.24.0330 should fix this.
