Unable to scrape long videos #153

Closed Popolechien closed 1 year ago

Popolechien commented 2 years ago

Probably following up on openzim/zimfarm#722 : I have been trying to scrape a movie off youtube (recipe here) to no avail for the past two weeks. The workers get blacklisted after a few hours of work (target movies were about 90 minutes long)

Not related to openzim/zimfarm#722. That ticket is about API request which has nothing to do with this.

Then is nothing we can do at the scraper level about this. Trying to run it on a worker which haven't done any youtube in a little while and making sure it's the single youtube recipe (using the platform limitation) would increase the chances of it passing.

Waiting for PR to be merged on youtube-dl

@rgaudin Considering that we don't use youtube-dl anymore, what is the status of this ticket?

rgaudin commented 1 year ago

Looks like @Popolechien reopened this ticket because I fixed it with the hidden patch and he was expecting us to close this upon upstream merge?? Or maybe it was just an accident :)

Anyway, we don't use it anymore and this issue is obsolete.
