Description
Version
YoutubeDownloader.win-x64
Environment
Windows 11 x64 bit
Steps to reproduce
I'm using YouTubeDownloader (latest CI build, win-x64). When I try to download ANY video (not just a specific one), I get the following error:
System.Net.Http.HttpRequestException: Response status code does not indicate success: 400 (Bad Request).
at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode()
at YoutubeExplode.Videos.VideoController.GetPlayerResponseForVisionOsAsync(VideoId videoId, String visitorData, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
at YoutubeExplode.Videos. VideoController.GetPlayerResponseAsync(VideoId videoId, String signatureTimestamp, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
at YoutubeExplode.Videos.VideoController.GetPlayerResponseAsync(VideoId videoId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
at YoutubeExplode.Videos.Streams.StreamClient.GetStreamInfosAsync(VideoId videoId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
at YoutubeExplode.Videos.Streams.StreamClient.GetManifestAsync(VideoId videoId, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
Operating system: Windows 11, x64
I've tried several different videos, and they all fail with the same error.

Details
I start the program manage to log in and I can open playlists and it shows me that I can download them but as soon as I want to download it the error message above shows up. When I want to download one single video (simple url for example "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvU5V1ZALeI&list=PLVMjYEJplVtM&index=6" same error message pops up

Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure while downloading any video and inspect the stack trace entry point, VideoController.GetPlayerResponseForVisionOsAsync. Trace how it is called by GetPlayerResponseAsync and StreamClient.GetStreamInfosAsync, then compare the request behavior with the reported 400 response. Done means video and playlist downloads no longer fail with this error.
