Getting Error during conversion on this server. I tried running it on replit but giving the error all the time. I'm new to this and can't figure out the issue. CHATGPT-4 couldn't help. Can someone help me with this???

ChatGPT said - The "Error during conversion: Input stream error: Status code: 410" indicates a "Gone" error, which means the resource you were trying to access is no longer available at the specified URL. This can occur in situations where YouTube content has been removed or is no longer accessible due to changes in YouTube's policy or the specific video's availability.
