Unable to download from youtube: "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot" #645

Open atmomomo opened 3 months ago

atmomomo commented 3 months ago

podsync suddenly stopped working since last week, I checked the log file and found the error message "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot, etc. etc.". The reason is likely to be that YouTube recently blocked yt-dlp, and a possible solution, according to this issue, is not passing the cookies. Could you please help update podsync accordingly? Thank you very much!

I'm having this problem too.

Same here

Same for me, looks like Hetzer Cloud + Server IPs got blocked by YT (at least for me). Workaround: smartproxy.com pay-as-you-go. Podsync config: youtube_dl_args = ["-vU", "--proxy", "socks5h://YOURCREDENTIALS@gate.smartproxy.com:7000"] => works for me.

I also have the same problem. The point podsync uses a token from my account. Isn't it considered a "log-in"?

I'm trying to disable requests for some time to youtube. I will try again in 3 days.

@steav Which plan do I need to choose? I don't understand the differences.. Too complicated for me..

It doesn't seem to work after all :(

Podsync uses yt-dlp to download from youtube. Last time, Youtube changes their policy, and now yt-dlp have problems with downloading. More about that https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128

I used Oauth2 to log in with a new youtube account. I had to use cookies too. And to specify the cache-dir for yt-dlp too. It was quite hard, but now it works again. Good luck!

I moved podsync to my home PC, since I keep it on 24/7. You could also setup a VPN host at home and make your podsync server use it. It'd just keep retrying when it's off, but pull things when the vpn is available.

@d4os try use yt-dlp nightly and set PO token https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10128#issuecomment-2350782316

For each feed in file config, You must add following parameters to "youtube_dl_args" youtube_dl_args = [ .. "--sleep-requests", "1.5", "--min-sleep-interval", "60", "--max-sleep-interval", "90", "--cookies", "/app/cookies.txt", "--extractor-args", "youtube:player-client=web,default;po_token=web+ABCD...FGH"]

@Harnas do you need info if that worked? My clunky solution works, so I prefer it to something that

may help in some cases

So many websites outright block my Hetzner server that I accepted I need to move some things home.

I have the same problem. I dont think it has to do with a blocklisted IP, because everyday I get a new IP.

halllo commented 3 weeks ago

I dont understand how to get the PO token and the cookies. I followed this guide but to no avail. My requests dont seem to have them.

Did anybody get it working correctly and reliably?
