I can confirm this, YouTube downloader stopped working for most videos. An interesting thing I've noticed is the YouTube Center Developer plug-in for Firefox and Video Downloader Helper plug-ins for Firefox also stopped detecting the video. YouTube might be hiding the video better somehow.

Youtube changed their policy to prevent music videos from being played by third parties (VLC).
You'll notice that any random video that isn't a music video can still be played.
The end of an era has come my friend.

Sure enough, your non-music youtube video does play natively in latest VLC 3.0.7.1-x86 smiling smiley
The fact is them Google people (owners of youtube) have, once again, CHANGED recently their "page" code to cripple downloading scripts/software, each one to varying degree...

Less hit are implementations relying on youtube-dl Python script (latest MPC-BE nightly, v1.5.4.4577beta, as well as MPC-HC 1.8.6.9 + youtube-dl v2019.06.08 can play ALL yt videos).

FRD is one of the apps fatally affected; one of the (very few active sad smiley) devs will have to mitigate the Google inflicted changes and patch the yt plugin...

I have a same issue -- No Available youtube media-- Are there any fix? I used other application without any issue. I hate to see FreeRapid closed the door.
