Youtube DL Fail #44

Open juliemars opened 4 years ago

juliemars commented 4 years ago

Hi

I started getting errors on YT Downloads:

"ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py\", line 1380, in _decrypt_signature\n video_id, player_url, s\n File \"/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py\", line 1258, in _extract_signature_function\n raise ExtractorError('Cannot identify player %r' % player_url)\nExtractorError: Cannot identify player u'https://www.youtube.com/s/player/5478d871/player_ias.vflset/en_US/base.js'; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I noticed that it was on a older version of youtube-dl so I ran youtube-dl -U and restarted the docker image and the download worked.

I might be missing it but I don't see anything in Crontab to upgrade youtube-dl on a schedule. If it is missing can you add this in the next build please to do a daily/weekly update?

Thanks

:wave: Hi @juliemars. Thanks for looking into it. That's a good call out. I'll include it in the next release.

FYI, I'm currently in the middle of a rewrite so the next version might be delayed for a few more weeks.
