Problems when archiving a members stream #169

Closed EricFoodTab closed 5 months ago

Trying to archive a members stream again today and this is what showed even though i have the right cookie file and everything. The second problem is the video fragments runs slower than audio when archiving members stream. Is there something going on with yt or yt archive? do i need to download the latest version?

Known issue with Google invalidating cookies after a few minutes or something. You have to grab them from another browser or something, I don't know what conditions cause it. I've had to pull from Chrome recently since I normally use FF and they would become invalid when using those.

As for video fragment download being slower, grabbing the newest pre-release might help but that's almost always an issue. Make sure you are using the thread option --threads so you download more than one fragment at a time. I typically use --threads 5 personally.

I uses Chrome so i dont think switching browser will help much

I meant I used Chrome because FF is my norm. Others have had this issue that use Chrome, and they either logged in on FF to grab cookies, or some other browser. It doesn't really matter. I have seen some people say using an incognito window can work too.
