@kradan Have you tried using the actual download url(s) for the video(s) ?

e.g $ tubeup https://passthesalt.ubicast.tv/downloads/file/v125aaf9568a03rq4scb/?url=https%3A//d2u3lzih3uhb7x.cloudfront.net/passthesalt/r125aaf9568a0n33nutcsq8dqt1tse/v125aaf9568a03rq4scb_2160.mp4

It seems to be uploading quite ok from here at the moment, (Though perhaps not in a very identifiable manner.)

Here is the resulting item: https://archive.org/details/generic-v125aaf9568a03rq4scb_2160

EDIT: My bad, i drunkly mistook this to be about TubeUp . But hey; youtube-dl shouldn't have any problem with it, if tubeup doesn't.. :beers:

So try e.g:

$ youtube-dl https://passthesalt.ubicast.tv/downloads/file/v125aaf9568a03rq4scb/?url=https%3A//d2u3lzih3uhb7x.cloudfront.net/passthesalt/r125aaf9568a0n33nutcsq8dqt1tse/v125aaf9568a03rq4scb_2160.mp4

:beers:
