How to Use the Old Version 2.1.6 (Video Tutorial in Text)

Risks of using old builds

• Mostly works for standard 720p/1080p videos. The core extraction logic remains stable for common formats (MP4, WebM).
• Fails on "YouTube Shorts." Shorts use a different streaming protocol.
• Fails on age-restricted videos without a login cookie (old versions cannot handle OAuth 2.0 logins).
• Fails on High Efficiency Video Coding (H265/HEVC). Modern 4K videos often use codecs that didn't exist in 2014.
