Can't play or download specific video #365

Closed Pronian closed 7 years ago

The video in question is Rihanna - Needed Me (Slightly NSFW)

All other videos that I tried work great, but this one fails. Maybe it has something to do with age restricted content, but the video still fails regardless of the age restriction setting.

NewPipe version: 0.8.5 Android version: 6.0 Phone: LG G4 H-815

That should not be the case. Can you tell me what exactly is happening?

theScrabi commented 8 years ago

Well for me even fails to get any stream.

Pressing play on the video opens the internal player with a "Can't play this video" message (http://i.imgur.com/7x16zBZ.png). Trying to download it simply puts a new entry in the downdoads page with the title "Error", without creating any kind of file in the downloads folder.

I tried to view the link that's generated by NewPipe by opening the video with VLC, but I'm afraid the link is cropped out by the VLC interface for being too long http://i.imgur.com/wpq8mgk.png

Of course this is a but, but you could try to get around it by using TOR as VPN.
