works fine for tiktok

no

It's true. You get part way into a download and it shuts off with a 403 error.

Luckily I archived a ton of shit this week so I will be fine if this takes a while to fix.

But between the gating of premium formats, the need to constantly use sleep commands and the cat-and-mouse game between devs and YT (which I will remind you did not exist until like two years ago) we are witnessing the end of an era.

But you won't, because you're the fag

nope retard, if yt-dlp doesen't work you do yt-dlp -U to update it and it works, don't make pointless threads
also yt-dlp supports like 2000 sites not only yt so it won't die

>>106707362
their 700 line js interpreter for youtube isn't good enough anymore, you'll have to install deno for that now

>>106707585
>deno
>110 megabytes of bloat
great, I guess I'll need to blacklist that now
hopefully arch makes it an optional dependency

>>we cannot use QuickJS because it takes 20 minutes per video!!1!1
>doesn't say they use an outdated fork
>up-to-date QuickJS takes 7s (compared to 1s with deno)
Google bought them, fork when?

>>106707362
Works fine for me.

Deno is VC-funded, isn't it? That's why they can afford all these 4chan shills.

>>106707615
it's optional except you wanna download stuff from youtube, would be weird if it's a required dependency

Google doesn't want you to be able to simply download things but also wants to be able to serve their content/ads to as many people as possible. Their solution to that is a cluster fuck or js code that the 700 lines js ""'interpreter""" can't handle anymore with the most recent changes

>>106709080
I have 300GB of music videos
I also downloaded whole channels that got nuked by (((Susan Wojcicki)))

>>106709080
You can just download stuff from youtube music

>>106709080
innocuous videos getting hit with age restriction, since none of the downloaders can download them without age verification account cookies.

In the worst scenario we'll run a headless browser with an account. If they allow their videos to be served, thus downloaded by a user, it doesn't matter what they do, yt-dlp devs will find a solution, you just need to update.

To this day I don't understand youtube's stand point in blocking downloaders, don't they know that most youtubers use footage from other yt videos? Or the jeet in charge thinks only short-term ad revenue matters? wasn't he the same jeet who ruined google search? I'm sure if they allowed real video downloading in premium and from their apis with a paid token they'll make more money especially with AI training. But because they hold a monopoly no one can ditch them.

>>106709115

where are all the 4k rips from streaming services?
nowhere, because you're not ripping modern DRM shit. instead you have shitty non-drm 720p ones
>I don't understand youtube's stand point in blocking downloaders
as of today, ai sloppers downloading an enormous amount of everything just in case it'll turn out useful is probably a real concern. random fuckers downloading brainrot meme compilations are caught in the crossfire

>>106707362
I use grayjay. I have gone to some lenghts in the recent hours to try to move everything I'm subbed to from youtube to odysee, peertube, rumble etc.

you're using your login cookies to batch DL hundreds if not thousands of videos

every video comes up like this when logged in, I'll just have to wait a couple months from what I'm reading online before it goes away

funny enough I can still like and comment on videos, just not watch them

>>106716614
Can you still download videos through a VPN? I tried doing that but yt-dlp responded with "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"

>>106716646
no clue, I mostly just use it to batch DL my liked playlist (which has age restricted stuff) yearly to keep archives, if I wanted to DL individual videos it would be fine but I guess my yearly one will have to be delayed

>>106716614
I have read those bans only last a couple days.

>>106709733
you fucking faggot

>>106716614
So it's since you try to download whole playlists associated with a youtube account instead of individually downloading specific videos? Can you bypass the viewing restrictions, are they temporary?

>>106718335
It's because I was using my login cookies that I extracted to get through to age restricted videos and my liked playlist (~500 new videos from last year's backup), so my account was flagged.

I can get past the error by watching on a different browser, and it will presumably go away anywhere from a few days to a few months from now based on forum posts and the above anon.

>>106716614
from personal experience it lasts a day or less, just dont make the mistake of using cookies needlessly but if you need to download multiple age restricted videos in succession, use very conservative rate limiting

>>106718498
Oh. Could just download vids one by one and screen record the age restricted ones to avoid problems then

One of the most important roles of social media is being a place you can have "bitching chambers". People will have threads where they just bitch, bitch, and bitch about things instead of actually doing something about what they are bitching about. They are NPCs, even on 4chan.

Still, that doesn't mean we shouldn't post pointing out what they should be doing instead. There is the occasional individual who may be looking for what to actually do, and they will look through posts, even old content in the archives, so you you are really leaving stuff here for them. I'm sometimes one of those. I sometimes run into folks who are looking for info and read old threads and what not.
