Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

When I try to download a video from viki, I get an error

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

bladeosen · 2021-07-08T12:06:40Z

You can download for now my binary released
https://github.com/zackmark29/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2021.07.08

I can't download the subs, I get on "WARNING: Unable to download subtitle for "en": HTTP Error 400: Bad Request"

neonrust · 2021-07-27T18:17:52Z

Confirmed, attaching similar output for linux.
This does seem to apply to all videos; I've not found any that work (any more?).

looks like you're using the old script. Check again the repo. And also post in ydlp repo not here so it will be updated.

I know it looks that way as the "source" shows 07.07, but I grabbed the commit for it before it was rolled into the newer version. But just to show that it is truly added, I'll go grab the newest version of yt-dlp and run it through that and grab the verbose log

Alright update me when it work already
Just a little note. As you can see max resolution is 720p.
It's only for some chinese series. It means the high quality is available from the main source

So it is very sporadic of about 30 series I was getting from VIKI only 3 or 4 wouldn't download with above issue being logged. Most of which were able to grab 1080p and a few at 720p. I just wish they all would work. :-(

Don't use the exe. I also tried it. I don't know why it's not included the latest script in the compiled version
Just do for now

py -3.6 -m yt_dlp

zackmark29 · 2021-08-01T21:15:13Z

@Sipherdrakon atlso with the updated version, you don't need to use cookies. Only credentials is enough

rmiddle · 2021-08-20T14:41:53Z

I am still getting the same errors and I am running the code directly from the repo? Do I need to pull from another repo or branch to get a working Viki version?

Sipherdrakon · 2021-08-20T14:58:08Z

Pretty sure this hasn't been merged yet.

rmiddle · 2021-08-20T15:49:52Z

Youtube-dl fails however yt-dlp is at least showing my a list using -F so my workaround is to use yt-dlp :)

Thanks
Robert

Update: yt-dlp is working for everything I have tried.

Sipherdrakon · 2021-08-20T18:55:48Z

Yeah yt-dlp is updated far more frequently and grabs commits that youtube-dl sits on forever.

issues101 · 2021-09-27T01:42:25Z

Update: yt-dlp is working for everything I have tried.

...except Windows XP and Python earlier than 3.6--which Youtube-dl has no problems with.
