I guess it's a routing problem. Can you watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0eErsVNK-I in browsers if all network interfaces other than the one with IP 192.168.1.3 are disabled?

192.168.1.3 is dummy ip address i am running youtube-dl on a web server a want to change the ip address to client ip address using --source-address. But it giving me above error no issue with regular video but with dashed videos

Sorry I don't quite understand your network settings. Did you mean you're running youtube-dl on one computer (server) and 192.168.1.3 is an IP address of another device (client)?

no issue with regular video but with dashed videos

It's strange. From the error logs, the problem is from the 'call home' step, which occurs before any actual downloading.

Hi @corneliousfazal , I had the exact same issue with you using youtube dl. I am running youtube-dl and extracting url in my django server, and try to open that url in my Android app. Did you solve this problem? Thanks!
