hmm, this might be a lavalink error, cuz sometimes the vids that are requested have some kind copyright lock (this is a theory, cuz i faced the same problem), or somethin.

if u play the same song (using "prefix song lyrics" adding the word lyrics at the end.) it plays the song.

lets see what changes are made for this, but I believe its a lavalink side error.

YouTube is blocking most reguest of getting video material. How exactly ? I dont know :)

Those are essentially the same, youtu.be is just a redirect to youtube.com

And lava.link is prone to have those issue, I recommend switching to another host, here's a list of lavalink that you can try https://lavalink.darrennathanael.com
