I've noticed that yewtube wouldn't reproduce certain musical video with MPV but there is no issue if I set VLC as the player (see below). I don't quite understand why; so here is the output when trying to reproduce one of these videos:

mpv 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=CFGLoQIhmow'
● Video  --vid=1  --vlang=eng        (vp9 3840x2160 24 fps) [default]
● Audio  --aid=1  --alang=eng        (opus 2ch 48000 Hz) [default]
○ Subs   --sid=1  --slang=live_chat  'json' (null) [external]
File tags:
Date: 20241017
Uploader: Lofi Girl
Channel_URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSJ4gkVC6NrvII8umztf0Ow
AO: [pipewire] 48000Hz stereo 2ch floatp
VO: [gpu] 3840x2160 yuv420p

Note: when using yewtube with only audio, as normally do, there is no issue, if I try to play it directly with VLC, it doesn't let me.

vlc 'https://youtube.com/watch?v=CFGLoQIhmow'
VLC media player 3.0.21 Vetinari (revision 3.0.21-0-gdd8bfdbabe8)
[00005c500e698520] main libvlc: Ejecutar vlc con la interfaz predeterminada. Use «cvlc» para usar vlc sin interfaz.
[00007f95380015d0] http stream error: local stream 1 error: Cancellation (0x8)
[00007f9538224100] lua stream error: Couldn't descramble YouTube throttling URL parameter: data transfer will get throttled
[00007f95380e41e0] access stream error: HTTP 403 error

Which is strange, because MPV will reproduce the video but not the audio.

I am using Arch Linux with i3wm.
mpsyt --version is unrecognized
