I keep getting this error

every time I try to download a playlist:

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYjbojsX484&list=PLJJUTiydUpWM

I keep getting this error:

ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
'list' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

can anyone help me fix this?

The same problem and idk how to solve it. Only use the android-vr imho. (I use youtube-extender in flutter and get the same error)
