hey Daniel
Regarding this issue
Not sure we understood
We have no problem uploading or importing files from YouTube
Our systems are up to date
Could you please help us understand what we missed

That's weird. This is what's happening when I try to upload a video by importing it. (See screenshot.)

Good for you, in those days YouTube is flagging whoever is using yt-dlp as a bot.
also banning users if you try to use cookies on it

para2022 · 2024-07-23T15:22:29Z

yes i have this issue too. All my encoders cannot use yt-dlp anymore.

JoshWho · 2024-07-26T21:46:55Z

I think it goes off IP they are starting to figure out what servers are being used to pull their vids and limiting the ip

gbrn · 2024-08-05T15:17:28Z

@DanielnetoDotCom This problem has now been resolved, I can use yt-dlp normally.
I recommend updating the encoder servers. Thanks.

still does not work after updating avideo and the encoder servers. The problem is exactly the same.

gbrn · 2024-08-06T13:40:23Z

@para2022 The encoder does not only work with files available on Github AVideo Encoder.
yt-dlp is responsible for accessing external downloads. So you have to update it on your server.

Latest version: stable@2024.08.06 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp
yt-dlp is up to date (stable@2024.08.06 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp)

sudo pip install -U yt-dlp
or
sudo yt-dlp -U
or
sudo curl -L https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp -o /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp && sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/yt-dlp

Ok so I deleted it and added it again. But, it did not work. So, used another one of our accounts and it worked. I am happy that it worked; However, I am concerned about why it worked with one account but not the other.
