+
+## Current Situation
+YouTube has significantly strengthened bot detection in 2024-2025:

+- Status code 410 indicates content unavailable/blocked
+- Even different libraries (play-dl, ytdl-core, yt-dlp) are detected
+
+## Possible Solutions
+
+### Option 1: Use proxy/VPN rotation
+- Rotate IP addresses
+- Use residential proxies
+- Complex but may work temporarily
+
+### Option 2: Alternative video sources
+- Switch to other video platforms
+- Use YouTube alternatives
+- Different API endpoints
+
+### Option 3: Web scraping approach
+- Use headless browser (Puppeteer)
+- Simulate real user behavior
+- More complex but harder to detect
+
+### Option 4: Accept limitation
+- Show error message to users
+- Suggest users download manually
+- Focus on other features
+
+## Recommendation for Telegram MiniApp
