Description

Recently I've been getting HTTP 401 Unauthorized errors randomly. Already tried using cookies and YT identity token (as described [here](https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/blob/master/example/cookies.js)), but no success.

It is not related to specific videos, it happens randomly. Sometimes, if I try to load the same video again, it works.

In some cases, the audio starts playing for a few seconds then suddenly the error is thrown.
