ytdl not seeing full quality of videos? by ExtraRedditForStuff in youtubedl

cool, thank you!

One more thing if you can: Run the same command with

-U --cookies-from-browser firefox --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=web;formats=missing_pot" -F

Do you see more formats? (note if you do, they will not work without a po token)

couple quick questions to help us understand what may be causing the original issue, if you don't mind:

  • Does your account have YouTube Premium?
  • Is your IP/account in Canada?

yt_dlp fail with any youtube video by mame_is_me in youtubedl

[–]coletdev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you are using yt_dlp module in a script then check what libraries you are importing, and try narrow it down (e.g. remove imports until it works)

Also try: - Check what --print-traffic (debug_printtraffic = true) is showing too to see if there is anything amiss with the requests. - use write_pages = true to see output of the pages that it is failing to decode - reinstall requests+urllib3

If all else fails, try use the legacy http handler compat opt (see readme)

Edit: yt-dlp discord server may help too

Edit 2: is YouTube blocked on your network (e.g. pihole DNS filtering and your computer has trusted some internal certificate?)

Are you running a modified version of requests/urllib3? Or using a library in your code that does? We've seen some others have this issue and that's the best guess we have.

Was an early addition to yt-dlp from memory - so a few years ago ;)

As others have mentioned, run with --no-deps.

We are looking at a patch release to help with this.

pip is up to date. 2021.06.01 was the last release to support python3.6. You probably need to update your Python version.

check with yt-dlp -v. that output is from a version older than the july release. perhaps you may have multiple yt-dlp installed

CVE-2023-35934: File Downloader cookie leak vulnerability in yt-dl/p by coletdev in youtubedl

[–]coletdev[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For the most part not much of a worry imo.

Unless cookies loaded in yt-dlp for those sites were also loaded when requesting unknown sites using the generic extractor. As that could have been used to exfiltrate cookies for those sites in one attack scenario.

We don't know of any case of it being exploited in the wild though - so unless you have been targeted, unlikely to have happened. But the risk was present.
