It appears to be from the server side. Hopefully there's a fix rolling out soon.

In waiting for those who use python & FFMPEG you can use this
Not ideal, but its a temporary alternative
Edit : Idk if it could be implemented considering its python, but it would fix the issue, also it uses ffmpeg which idk if youtube music does by default, just wanted to let that out

import yt_dlp as youtube_dl

why give code when you can directly use yt-dlp from the command line?

because you can manipulate the video/audio from code

Well, that is completely pointless since we are not using python for this project.

Heck, we are already using a library to "manipulate" video/audio from code.

Like it said it was an alternative for users who wanted to dl while its down, I just shared the script I made myself for my server
The implementation was just a recommendation if possible, if not its whatever

I just wanted a heads up, because I can't download songs. Also I only know JS, and not python, but I'm learning python
