Hey @VitoItalianGamer ,

To explain it simply without getting too nerdy: when you are logged in with a Google account, YouTube serves you a different stream. The current PipePipe version does not handle this stream when you are logged in, but it will be supported in a future version don't worry !

So, TL;DR: for now, yes, you have to be logged out to be able to download audio or video. :)

Have a great day! :p

Thanks for the explanation @Priveetee.
I had this problem for the few months I was using PipePipe and assumed it was a broken feature, knowing we have a workaround is useful.
It would surely be helpful to put a disclaimer like this in the readme while that future version is in the making.
[Edit:] Even better if this would make its way into the PipePipeWiki and the wiki was linked into pipepipe.dev for the sake of discoverability

No problem! The future version will include the fix since my PR has been merged :p

For the wiki, we need to see with @InfinityLoop1308 if he's okay linking it to pipepipe.dev, for me np.
Right now, I'm focusing mainly on developer documentation, but I'd like to improve the user documentation too. It's usually easier to do 😂
