Did anyone notice that youtube just started throttling youtube-dl ?
I get speeds under 100kb/s for long videos and descending speeds under 300kb/s for popular channels with short videos even though all downloads start with a speed between 3 and 4 mb/s. It's unnerving. I have to wait half an hour for a 100 mega audio for a stupid podcast when under normal circumstances it would take less than a minute.
Changing the user agent does nothing. I'm going to test if piping it through tor solves anything.
Pretty sure the consensus was that it's not turing complete.
John Jackson
Motherfuckers, I imagine it won't even be possible to split a single download in multiple connections as happens with aria2c... [download] 89.8% of 29.99MiB at 338.08KiB/s ETA 00:09[download] 69.8% of 3.18MiB at 72.12KiB/s ETA 00:13
Jason Smith
Meh. I use youtube-dl with torsocks so I was already throttled by tor. Just select a lower quality.
Gavin Adams
Ask the content authors to mirror the content to a more reasonable hosting. As a bonus, it won't have any of youtube's lossy transcoding.
Hudson Lewis
Surely there's some way for them to identify youtube-dl before throttling though.
Henry Smith
Why can't people just host their own god damn videos?
Jordan Morales
One day, when you grow up and have to start paying for your internet, you will understand.
Luis Jones
Pretty sure that nobody actually proved that and just kept repeating that it only parses.

That is why we need net neutrality. Thanks Drumpf.

issues have been opened with youtube-dl. github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/15275 there's a lot of bouncing around and closing of issues with "not our problem" as is the standard procedure with any issue on any open source project.
the solution seems to be github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/pull/11476 a pull request that was completely ignored for months when it was submitted, but is now referenced as a possible solution.
That is not a nice thing to do though. Content providers may even block youtube-dl if you fags do this.
Eli Hernandez
nice try shlomo fuck google. let them try. if they try to block these downloads it's just going to be another arms race between youtube-dl and similar and google and the prevent youtube-dl from working they're going to have to shit up the user experience even further and hopefully push even more lemmings off their control platform.
Charles Watson
If this test file covers the full range of functionality then it's not Turing-complete: github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/test/test_jsinterp.py Notice that it has no branching or looping or other control flow besides returning from functions. I don't know if it can even call functions from within other functions, but I'll assume it can. That means that can make certain strong static guarantees about any individual function. In particular, you can exactly know which functions it calls and that as long as those functions return the function itself also returns, regardless of the input the function receives. So a function returns iff all the functions it calls return, and a function returns if it doesn't call any other functions. That means you can analyze a function by descending through the functions it calls, and seeing if a function ever calls itself, possibly indirectly. If a function calls itself, it and the top-level function never return. If none of the functions call themselves you'll eventually finish looking through the tree of function calls, assuming a finite number of functions. That analysis solves the halting problem, which means the subset of javascript can't be Turing-gcomplete.

i hope google forces the DRM that w3c kikes included in the specification and destroys it even further.
Jason Ross
Wrong, WebDRM is transparent to the user. Kys drumpfie.
Cameron Williams
pick one faggot.
Juan King
Go use it on chrome, you will notice nothing. Corporations are not stupid, they learned that consumers only care about convenience and have no principles. This is why it was standardized by the w3c and removed from the inconvenient plugins into invisible auto-installed eme plugins. Well firefox notifies you, but chrome which virtually everyone uses does not. Go back to r/thedonald and boast about how your adblocker will "gas the kikes".
Xavier Richardson
Is there anything worth downloading besides T.D. vids? Also, for music videos and shit there's still vimeo, which features most of the better artists and exclusive content by muh NY avant-fucks. vimeo.com/112045173 - shamefully the site doesn't even load without js.

Before 2015, everyone hosted their own videos maaaan.

Ok. Good job you successfully destroyed my meme.
youtube-dl is not youtube exclusive
Nolan Gonzalez
Jamal records rap and basketball videos, he only has a 'sail fone'. How does he host his videos to millions of his fans with only a dinky 3g connection in a crowded urban environment?
Oliver Cox
Maybe somebody will invent some kind of p2p where the more downloaders you get the more uploaders there are. Sounds pretty futuristic.
Noah Jackson
Didn't you know Poo-in-the-Loo was ackshually HUSSEIN Obama's guy? Obama only pretended to create net neutrality, so he could destroy it while Trump was president, thus giving him a bad rep. MAGA!
On the the one hand, it's unreasonable to expect people to shekkel out hundreds of dollars each month to serve their 1080p videos to potentially dozens of thousends of anons. On the other hand youtube's monopoly on (or their status as the go-to for) video hosting does raise questions about how we host videos without going (((bankrupt))). Bittorrent is great as long as there is interest, but requires that someone is uploading that particular video.
Something like this sounds promising.
Zachary Cox
There's still good tech, math, lock picking, and gayming channels that I have RSS feeds for.

Did you try updating it? Use pip instead of your distro's package manager to ensure you get the latest version. 9 times out of 10 this solves any yt-dl problems I have. Youtube and yt-dl are in a neverending arms race, so it's important to keep up to date to make sure you're ahead of jewtube's latest tricks.
I used to use an old program under Windows called "youtube video downloader" (yvd.sourceforge.net); recently, I noticed I couldn't download videos with that software anymore (had no issues with youtube-dl so far). Don't know if the throttling and preventing downloaders from getting video metadata is part of the same scheme.

Works for me.

can't they just spoof it as a browser?
Adrian Evans
I've noticed the same problem with a browser plugin called Complete YouTube Saver.
Brandon Foster
Spoof with the latest Tor Browser's user agent. --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:52.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/52.0" No throttling done.
Jackson Flores
youtube-dl --dump-user-agent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:10.0) Gecko/20150101 Firefox/47.0 (Chrome) You think they'd at least randomize it so youtube-dl requests weren't so predictable.

I decided to bite the bullet and Youtube Downloader HD works fine.
Owen Butler
so what's the solution to this ?
some ppl are saying changing user agents works, other ppl are saying you have to use aria2
most importantly why don't ytdl kikes give a shit about this
Eli Foster
check peertube. It's youtube-like web frontend with videos in bittorrent / webtorrent

Grayson Gutierrez
they will. just wait until youtube introduces drm like netflix.

why the fuck would you do that when youtube-dl has the --proxy option?
Ian Davis
I rarely download anything from YouTube, but here's what I found. If you list all available formats, pay special attention to the ones at the bottom, which have audio and video streams already combined in one container. For some reason those video formats can be downloaded at full speed. However, they typically only go up to 720p.
Also, I remember downloading a certain TV show episodes off of YouTube a year ago at the default youtube-dl setting, which just takes the best quality audio and video streams separately. The download speeds back then were throttled to approximately 300KB/s for the video stream and 50KB/s for the audio one, too. So this throttling is not a new development by any means.
Leo Morgan
lots of faggots in this thread lol. just use use aria2c and put this in your youtube-dl config --external-downloader aria2c--external-downloader-args "-x 16 -s 16 -k 1M"
Ethan Green
Never checked aria2c out before, works beautifully. Thanks fam!
Samuel Myers
any reason you're not using piece length and http-pipelining ? ( I might not be understanding the documentation in the man file properly // I'm curious )
Joshua Fisher
Looks like Youtube found a way to throttle it. Arg.
Aaron Johnson
works here fam, just tested on a few videos. If you download something that has dash segments then there's not really much you can do.
Samuel Gomez
hahaha nevermind speeds go down jesus fucking christ these jews
Oliver Lewis
wonderful. thx based fagnon
Jeremiah Johnson

Henry Lewis
you can do this on newer ffs by disabling the mediasource prefs
Dominic Martin
for who knows how long (months, years) it has been slow for me over tor. at some point it would get reasonable speeds 300KB/s+
turing completeness isn't the issue, genius. but yes, I've never seen any proof that it could do anything bad given malicious input.
Angel Gutierrez
fuck is wrong with youtube-dl? do you unironically view videos in a browser with JS enabled?
Hunter Richardson
Congratulations on totally missing the point.
Michael Ross
do you unironically profile yourself as someone who has something to hide from Google by using a downloader tool only channers use? Learn to browser spoofing, retard. Your anonymous mask is too obvious when nobody else is wearing it.

One day, when you will grow up and learn to use a search engine (and learn basic arithmetics), you will understand how cheap it is to host your own videos.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA i bet you think "browser spoofing" means changing the user agent. and what did you implement your own youtube ripper that pretends to be a browser and is even more identifiable than youtube-dl?

How is youtube-dl performance off topic to youtube-dl? And what secret tricks did he delete?
Nathaniel Cruz
Youtube-dl performance is dependent upon Youtube performance. If Youtube is being slow, then Youtube-dl is not responsible to fix that.
Austin Miller
They can come up with workarounds, which is exactly what that issue was about.
Dylan Sanchez
So does anyone have a working workaround? The --avoid-throttling patch doesn't work, the socket timeout doesn't work and using aria2c is just as useless.
It's pathetic that youtube-dl doesn't want to find a way to work around this as it's currently pretty much useless for youtube.
Gavin Stewart
Perhaps it's because Youtube-dl is not responsible for how Youtube performs.
Jaxon Smith
Are you seriously this retarded?
