Environment

  • YoutubeDL-Material version v4.3
  • Docker tag: nightly

Ideally you'd copy the info as presented on the "About" dialogue in YoutubeDL-Material. (for that, click on the three dots on the top right and then check "installation details". On later versions of YoutubeDL- Material you will find pretty much all the crucial information here that we need in most cases!)

Additional context Add any other context about the problem here. For example, a YouTube link.

Mind providing some logs? Hard to tell what's going on here without them. Thanks!

Brand new to this app (just set it up yesterday). I have been having issuing downloading videos as well. It's almost a 50/50 chance whether the download actually succeeds or not with some random videos that I have tested so far. Often it just gets stuck here:

and never continues.

Reading the logs I keep getting errors along these lines:

A rare case (only once so far), the video downloading does continue, but the downloaded file is just corrupt and unwatchable. Certainly also odd.

Sure! Sorry about that. It's just the logs are rather nonexistent

You can see how it adds it to the download queue but there is never a download of the description or title or anything. My screenshot looks the same as the other person that just posted on here.

miguelarios avatar Jul 03 '22 05:07 miguelarios

Any updates here? Still not working with latest updates.

miguelarios avatar Jul 26 '22 19:07 miguelarios

It looks like our errors are slightly different from the logs, but regardless, I am also still unfortunately unable to reliably download videos as well. I am using an unaltered version of the docker-compose file for setup too. Not sure what the issue might be.

marcus-k avatar Jul 26 '22 20:07 marcus-k

I just removed the container and using nightly and still when I copy a YouTube link and click download nothing happens. As in the download goes to the queue but it never actually downloads anything.

miguelarios avatar Aug 29 '22 02:08 miguelarios

I also seem to have this issue as well and this just started. Cleared logs, restarted server and tried to download something.

The last thing I did was add a subscription to download a playlist. I also had noticed that the docker compose changed from image: mongo to image: mongo:4 so the mongodb wasn't starting and was using a local db instead. I fixed that as well but nothing has changed since adding a subscription.

I've considered the filenames were too long and outputted shorter names, no change. Permissions are still correct and I was using it fine just days prior.

Edit: just tried to download the video with yt-dlp manually (edited logs to a little to hide the title & who, not here to start a debate 😅)

So I added --restrict-filenames to the argument path. Did not change anything either.

After realizing it's not updating yt-dlp, I looked into that and noticed by visiting https://api.github.com/repos/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/tags that I have exceeded the API rate limit. I managed to install yt-dlp but still, nothing changed.

It is yt-dlp and it is up to date. I noticed download_queue is locked at 10 and there are no available downloads to remove. I looked at the previous local storage DB and saw recent links were set to "null" for all the data except the URL. I think this has something to do with not being able to detect the resolutions and fails to download.

Were you able to figure out something. I am facing the same issue since very long, but didn't have time to sit down and look into it and post it here.

syedair avatar Sep 03 '23 07:09 syedair

@syedair No, so for the past 3 months I've written my own. It works in its current state but is no where near finished. The code is a mess and there's a lot of features missing but I'm still working on it.

I'd still like to get this working though but no solutions. Logged into the mongoDB and cleaned out the queued downloads manually. No fix and oddly no specific errors in any logs.
