You can play it back like this though: https://www.youtube.com/embed/m9ThyFE0V1Q?feature=oembed However youtube-dl still doesn't hook to it. It's been a couple years but I'm not seeing the string in the src/json stuff. And apperrently I can't force youtube to the old ver anymore to debug that.

This example video is an odd one, usually comments get restricted too I think.

You must authenticate.

I see the same “Unable to extract video data” error message while trying to download the following video on Youtube. However, it is displayed fine without any additional requests (to authenticate, for example) via Hooktube’s interface. Why?

NEOAethyr commented 4 years ago

dstftw, Authenticate? Like my acct, I haven't used this thing in years..? I put the verbose in there..

I followed the template rules essentially.

If you mean on youtube, I don't have a login, I was banned a year or 2 ago with no warning. Hence why I'd like to use youtube-dl to pipe to mpv to bypass these things. I can bypass logging in with the embedded ver. But youtube-dl still doesn't catch it.

If I need to back these things up for prosperity, and perhaps make a mirror, then wth... :\

Then you can't download this video, since it's age-restricted,
