I wanted to watch or download the following youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uIPQBOCJ64 but when I try to play it, after a few minutes I get the error "Error loading media: File could not be played".

I tried different captures in multiple browsers and on my phone, but it does not work. I assumed that it may be because of the length of the video, which is roughly 2-3h, but I found much longer videos that work.

Then I tried to download the video via various methods. First of all by using fakeurl which people recommended: https://web.archive.org/web/2oe_/http://wayback-fakeurl.archive.org/yt/8uIPQBOCJ64 but here the video also does not play and I am not able to download it.

I also tried the "Video DownloadHelper" extension and here it starts to download the video, but after a few MBs it crashes and says that the internet connection failed.

Is there any way to fix this?
