I'm trying to download audio from a YouTube Shorts video using yt-dlp, but I keep encountering an error that says "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot." I would like to know how to resolve this issue to successfully download the audio.

Command Used Here is the command I executed in my terminal:

yt-dlp --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.3" -f bestaudio -o "output.mp3" "https://youtube.com/shorts/V7YCOMkQtMI?si=otM-DOvIV7ZZas4N"

ERROR: [youtube] V7YCOMkQtMI: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community.

const downloadAudio = async (url, outputFilePath) => {
    console.log('Attempting to download audio from URL:', url); // Log the URL

    const ytDlpCommand = [
        'yt-dlp',
        
        '--user-agent',
        '"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/74.0.3729.169 Safari/537.3"',
        '-f', 'bestaudio',
        '-o', outputFilePath,
        '--restrict-filenames',
        '--no-mtime',
        '-v', 
        url 
    ];


    const commandString = ytDlpCommand.join(' ');

    try {
        console.log('Executing command:', commandString); // Log the command being executed
        const { stdout, stderr } = await execPromise(commandString); //

        // Log stdout and stderr for debugging
        console.log('yt-dlp stdout:', stdout);
        if (stderr) {
            console.error('yt-dlp stderr:', stderr); 
            throw new Error(`yt-dlp stderr output indicates a problem: ${stderr}`);
        }

        return stdout; // Return the standard output
    } catch (error) {
     
        console.error('Error in downloadAudio:', error.message);
        console.error('Full command executed:', commandString); 
        throw new Error('Failed to download audio'); 
    }
};

Tried different URLs: I tested multiple YouTube videos, including regular and Short videos, but the error persists. Changed User Agent: I used a different user agent string but still received the same error. Checked Network and Proxy Settings: I ensured that my network connection was stable and that no proxies were interfering with the request. Tested on Another Device: I attempted to download the same video on a different device where yt-dlp is also installed, but I encountered the same error
