Possible NSIG fixes

[vxbinaca]

Youtube has done a incomplete rollout of a new player, and the new player isn't compatible with yt-dlps current stable release on pip and to me it seems YT is doing it to break compatibility on purpose. Some videos work, some don't and they're a newer player that yt-dlp hasn't adapted to.

PhantomJS is dead software, it's repo is archived. Selenium or Puppeteer (I think) would be better choices but that's for yt-dlp to decide.

I see two fixes:

• Instruct users to compile/install Tubeup off-Pip and have them use yt-dlp nightly builds, I think path magic would need to be done to get them to see one another.
• Remove --best-video and --best-audio flags from configs might allow in some cases a format thats not throttled, the downside is the best quality streams are not grabbed and frankly even though that fix is easy the side effects aren't acceptable even though I'm currently getting videos that NSIG doesn't just throttle but it prevents the rip.

I'm open to comments

@vxbinaca There a yt-dlp issue tracking this by chance? If so, can you drop the link here?

[vxbinaca]

Edited issue with link.

I may have a fix, we'd have to instruct people to run this:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential chrpath libssl-dev libxft-dev -y
sudo apt-get install libfreetype6 libfreetype6-dev -y
sudo apt-get install libfontconfig1 libfontconfig1-dev -y
cd ~
export PHANTOM_JS="phantomjs-2.1.1-linux-x86_64"
wget https://github.com/Medium/phantomjs/releases/download/v2.1.1/$PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
sudo tar xvjf $PHANTOM_JS.tar.bz2
sudo mv $PHANTOM_JS /usr/local/share
sudo ln -sf /usr/local/share/$PHANTOM_JS/bin/phantomjs /usr/local/bin
export OPENSSL_CONF=/dev/null
phantomjs --version

Both of those exports would need to be appended onto the shells rc file (bashrc or in my case zshrc) for two reasons:

• The first is to enable yt-dlp to see PhantomJS, and the second is to kill a SSL conf bug thatstops PJS from running.

I've followed the above steps, sans EXPORT rc appends, and it seems to be working.

i will be implementing this to my vm and see if it is working. thank you.

Edit: im getting this error: -bash: /usr/local/bin/phantomjs: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error

is it because of the kernel?

No, it's because you're trying to run an x86_64 binary on ARM64.

Update yt-dlp to latest stable release as NSIG extraction for F17 was fixed, see if that stops the problems.

We recommend a rented VPS and yet cray-cray users will find a weird edge case to do something different and break things. Iphones, SBCs, Windows, horrible free-tier Oracle VPSs with OS partitions that are tiny and break rips without symlinking to larger storage.

I would for the time being advise against using PhantomJS as -f17 NSIG extraction was fixed in the main build.

with all due respect, most of your replies in this project you come across as very passive-aggressive. i have never seen anyone respond the way you do on Github

maybe work on your communication skills.
