For the last three days or so youtube has been rejecting requests coming from the tor network. Basically endtube and oldtube are not working. I think the next best strategy is to go to open high anonymous proxies, and or to use a vpn. It might be temporary in nature, but I'm not sure. If anyone has some insight into this issue post below.

This is all I get from any attempt:

WARNING: unable to download video info webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests
WARNING: unable to download video info webpage: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests
ERROR: : YouTube said: Unable to extract video data

I won't be posting anymore youtube video links until there is a fix / this is resolved.
