Alltube Download from YouTube fails

[A Former User]

Download from YouTube fails:

This is the result when trying to download a video:

/usr/bin/python' 'vendor/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/__main__.py' '--no-warnings' '--ignore-errors' '--flat-playlist' '--restrict-filenames' '--no-playlist' '--dump-single-json' '
' '-f' 'best/bestvideo' failed with this error:
ERROR: Li77fk4Vjys: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data

Does anybody has an idea how to fix?

@captain-kirk try a hard refresh? I seem to remember that error from clicking back and entering a new URL.

@marcusquinn Did it. Deleted Cache... reinstalled... nothing works. hmmmm

[marcusquinn]

@captain-kirk odd, not used it for a while but that's the issue I had when trying last time and it worked after a hard refresh.

Just tried that YT link on my instance and it's not downloading but no error, just a blank screen with the logo at the top. Just updated to Cloudron 6.0, so maybe related, maybe not.

Maybe a few more testers here will yield a diagnosable pattern?

@marcusquinn @Captain-Kirk For me, it failed the first time. Then, I tried a couple of times and suddenly it starts working.

For YouTube I normally just use a Firefox browser extension

Edit: this one:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/easy-youtube-video-download/

@captain-kirk @marcusquinn Try the latest package, updating youtube-dl seems to make it work again.

@girish After the update it works like a charm. Thanks a lot!
