Hi,

Videomass v4.0.1 stay blocked at "Downloading android player API JSON" when I want download a video with yt-dlp.

How can I fix it ?

Hi, Which OS are you using? Which Videomass installer did you use? Version of yt-dlp? Does this problem manifest itself when downloading each video? Can you take a screenshot and drag it here?

hi, i'm on linux mint 21 and tryed on linux mint 20.3 too with same problem. i installed videomass with this command : python3 -m pip install videomass yt-dlp version : 2022.04.08-1 the problem come for all videos and i tryed only with youtube video unfortunatly no because i remove them actually but the message was :"Downloading android player API JSON"

that works with yt-dl but very very very slow so not usable.

waiting i used a windows application in wine to dl and that works

I just installed Videomass using your same command, and had no problems downloading the videos. yd-dlp version 2022.08.08 Screenshot_20220811_125343 Screenshot_20220811_125411

ok, didn't saw the new version of yt-dlp. i installed it from the software manager in mint.

I reinstalled videomass from your ppa (can't run it with pip installed version) and yt-dlp with pip and seams works now :)

additionnal question : videomass works only for youtube ?

Videomass is just a youtube-dl and yt-dlp based interface, and it works on all video sites supported by these downloaders.

Here you find a list of supported sites: http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/supportedsites.html
