err from ytdl: exit status 1

[Gilad1998]

I am getting this error while trying to play a song from a playlist that I created using a YouTube playlist link with youtube-dl advanced option.

err from ytdl: exit status 1

Latest Youtube-dl is installed
I tried to reinstall the whole SinusBot about 10 times
Doesn't work even without any scripts
1.0.0-beta.10-202ee4d
I also could not find much useful information about this anywhere.

It seems that this happens for videos blocked in servers country

the difference between !yt is that !yt link is blocked in the country while !play picked a link which isn't blocked

I ain't sure it is because of a location, since it worked for me before the issue and I didn't change the server's location.
Anyway, it suddenly started working recently. I have no idea what the issue was.

This issue happens randomly

upon 2nd or 3rd try it works as intended, so it's not just the particular video being blocked.

Additionally yt-dl repo was taken down with DMCA
