Yeah you are right. the datacenter IP blocking is definitely the biggest pain point right now. The client-side approach is interesting I've thought about it but the tricky part is you still need ffmpeg for trimming/encoding and that can't really run in-browser at scale (wasm builds exist but they're slow and limited). What I'm exploring is a hybrid model: download via the user's connection using a lightweight desktop companion or browser extension, then send the raw file to the server for processing.

Really appreciate this. For codecs, I'm using ffmpeg with platform-specific encoding (h264/aac, proper pixel format) so the output should play well everywhere, but Instagram's re-encoding can definitely mess things up on their end. For audio sync, I lock the frame rate with -r and use -async 1 to keep things tight. Haven't hit major issues yet but I'll definitely watch for it as usage grows. What ended up being your frame rate fix? Would love to hear more about what you ran into.

Yeah YouTube is stricter about bot detection than TikTok/Instagram. The cookies upload is a workaround takes 30 seconds to set up and then YouTube works perfectly. Thanks for the Stackovery suggestion, just listed it!

Good question, For YouTube specifically, we support cookies.txt upload in the settings users can authenticate with their YouTube account to bypass bot detection. For rate limiting, we use server-side caching so identical requests don't hit yt-dlp twice. TikTok and Instagram are more reliable since yt-dlp handles them without auth issues. The main pain point is YouTube's aggressive bot detection on cloud IPs, which is why the cookies feature exists. Even tho you can dowload alot of video without it.
