Tons of Youtube VR video don't download correctly anymore.

[SniperXL50]

I've tried downloading many videos for a couple weeks now and about 98% of them don't download the correct SBS (both eyes) version anymore. I only get a single eye a majority of the time. Even videos that I've downloaded in the past don't work anymore. What is going on? Would love to be able to download again...

Also, on another note, age restricted videos have never downloaded correctly, ever. Is there a way to fix this?

Make sure you have the 3D glasses option enabled at the bottom left of the videos tab

I do have that on, but that option doesn't even affect the download. It isn't downloading a SBS video anymore. Here's a link for example that doesn't work for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wZ3I99iW0Hw

I also saw another post very similar to this not long ago, so it seems like something changed with how youtube uploads thing. Would you be able to investigate and fix it? It's the only reason I purchased this program, because no other software downloads youtube VR videos like this software did in the past. However, now this software is failing to correctly download just like the others (4K Video Downloader is one of them that doesn't work).

That’s something YouTube changed and I have no control over that unfortunately

That video isn't stereoscopic 3D and works just fine as a 2D video when I load it on to my computer.

Also, try giving Open Video Downloader a try for a work around for you. Does the trick for me when something isn't going right. https://github.com/jely2002/youtube-dl-gui

Youtube sucks more and more ☹

YouTube is still the better place to post and get non-porn VR videos. Last time I checked, Tic Tok doesn't even support VR videos. And most other platforms are not able to handle them at the resolution that doesn't make give you pixel vision.

And this WAS the only app that allowed me to download from youtube and watch them until recently. Now I can't even do that until the dev finds a work around to make it work again. No other SW works for me. Even the one recommended in this thread

So you won't even look into this? It was the best feature of this app, the only reason I use this app, and the only way I can watch Youtube VR. Your player doesn't even allow watching youtube videos without downloading them. So how are people even watching Youtube VR?

There’s nothing I can do from my end. The feature was not advertised because it could break at any point if Google decided to not allow downloads. Note that the feature works for a bunch of other websites too, and those still work btw.
