Fail to fetch video #2

Closed smaragdus closed 4 years ago

smaragdus commented 4 years ago

Vividl fails to fetch a certain YouTube video (YouTube link),

Screen:

Vividl 0 1 0 0 - 2020-01-25 - error - 001

When I try to use context menu command Reload Video Vividl crashes (the crash was already reported- issue #1)

I have to say that I tried to get this particular video with another youtube-dl front-end- YDL-UI:

Screen:

YDL-UI 2 6 4 - 2020-01-25 - 001

but it does not crash when I try to restart it.

I suppose that the problem is within youtube-dl yet since I encountered it I am reporting it.

This seems to be a known bug of youtube-dl (see youtube-dl#23819) which has been fixed in the newest release 2020.01.24.

As the current version of Vividl ships with an older version of youtube-dl, please try to update it manually by clicking "Check for Updates" in the settings under Options -> Settings -> Binaries.

Thank you for the tip and for the information you provided.

Vividl version 0.1.0 comes packaged with youtube-dl version 2020.01.15- I tried again to get the same video and this time it was downloaded successfully, strange. Anyway, I updated youtube-dl to version 2020.01.24 and it also downloads without problems.

As this is an external problem related to youtube-dl and as it seems to be fixed with the latest version (2020.01.24) I think this issue can be closed. I am not closing it myself because you may have some considerations to keep it open.
