pytubefix.exceptions.LoginRequired: G17sBkb38XQ requires login to view

[glenn-jocher]

We started getting this error in our most recent nightly CI for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G17sBkb38XQ, which is a public video that should not require any login.

This is with the latest ultralytics and pytubefix==6.9.2 versions. We've never seen this error before in the past.

https://github.com/ultralytics/ultralytics/actions/runs/10311409282/job/28553440131

Reproduce

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load the YOLO model
model = YOLO('yolov8n.pt')

# Run inference on the YouTube video
results = model(source="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G17sBkb38XQ")

# Process the results
for r in results:
    # Visualize the results on the frame
    r.show()

More info here, I'm not actually able to reproduce locally. Issue seems isolated to GitHub CI. Not sure what this means.

Same issue here, for "https://youtu.be/50leN2_T8lo". Using the latest version too, running ubuntu on a VPS (so it's not linked to github)

Facing the same issue, looks like something changed at youtube's end:

"errorMessage": "\u001b[91mmqgIvkT6yV4 requires login to view\u001b[0m",
"errorType": "LoginRequired",

hello, see this PR #170

[KerolosAtef]

Hi @JuanBindez I'm a little bit confused, what I understood from the mentioned PR that this bug has been fixed with the new version 6.10.2 , In my case I still have the error with this new version. you can see the error here in my deployed huggingface model MiniGPT4_video

[kundanjadhav]

Hi @JuanBindez

As many of us are still unable to fix this issue. I request you, can you explain steps in details to resolve this issue?

[felipeucelli]

This problem has already been discussed in #119 .

As there is still no solution for this, we can try authentication with oauth.

yt = YouTube('URL', use_oauth=True)

use_oauth=True will print a link and a code on the terminal, you must place the generated code in the link field provided. After confirming the account linking, just press "enter" on your keyboard and you will be authenticated.

This authentication process has already been discussed here #160.

WARNING

Don't use your main account as YouTube may ban it.

hello @felipeucelli I tried to use use_oauth=True in my deployed model in huggingface but got the same error pytubefix.exceptions.BotDetection: LA4L6GwnarY This request has been detected as a bot, please try again or log in to view

Also, I can't see the login process while using huggingface, when using use_oauth=True

Hello @KerolosAtef, Try using a proxy to change your IP:

YouTube('URL', proxies=[YOUR PROXY])

Hi, actually a bug was not fixed in this version but an exception feature was added for YouTube bot detection

Hello @KerolosAtef, Try using a proxy to change your IP:

YouTube('URL', proxies=[YOUR PROXY])

Any proxy service that you know will work? I've tried Bright Data, but I'm still unable to download youtube videos.

Hello @KerolosAtef, Try using a proxy to change your IP:

YouTube('URL', proxies=[YOUR PROXY])

Any proxy service that you know will work? I've tried Bright Data, but I'm still unable to download youtube videos.

I am testing proxies. For proxies of the same vendor, some IPs are not detected as BOT, other have 100% detection, and others sometimes are detected as BOT, sometimes are not detected. There is no rule. Those with 100% detection I am asking the vendor to replace.

What vendor has the best results so far?
