Extremely slow youtube downloads

Open theofficialgman opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug I have verified I am using the latest youtube-dl (or yt-dlp renamed to youtube-dl) inside the /opt/xdman folder. manually running youtube-dl and downloading is FAST (as fast as my internet at 100mbps+). When using youtube-dl through XDM, the speeds is EXTREMELY SLOW (only a few kbps).

To Reproduce

  1. update to the latest yt-dlp and name it youtube-dl in the /opt/xdman folder
  2. download a youtube video using the download videos dropdown

Expected behavior I expected XDM to be the same speed as using youtube-dl

please complete the following information:

  • OS: Linux
  • XDM Version 7.2.11

this is due to an issue with how xdm uses youtube-dl. the links in the json can NOT be downloaded from directly with full speed see: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30568#issuecomment-1123082261

You can probably get yt-dlp https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp copy the executable to the xdm-directory and rename it to be the same as the existing youtube-dl. I haven't tested this myself because I don't use XDM to download youtube videos (since I use yt-dlp directly) but it should probably work just fine.

@nuckable nope... See the thread in my above post. That does not work for xdm
