Miniget Error 403 on some videos after update 4.3.0

[Chrisr0]

I use ytdl for my discord bot and after updating to version 4.3.0 or later some videos refuse to play and throws this error

    MinigetError: input stream: Status code: 403

My code

const dispatcher = connection
        .play(ytdl(song.vid.url, {
                requestOptions: {
                    headers: {
                        'X-Youtube-Identity-Token': process.env.xyit,
                        'Cookie': 'SID='+process.env.sid+'; HSID='+process.env.hsid+'; SSID='+process.env.ssid
                    }
                }
            })
        )
        .on("error", error => console.error(error));

ytdl-core - 4.3.0 and newer
node - 12.18.2

[fent]

does the video still play? if yes, then this is the same as #798

[Chrisr0]

Video doesn't play and it happens only on specific videos

[fent]

what was the version you were using before v4.3.0?

[Chrisr0]

I was using 4.2.1 but tested 4.2.0 and 4.0.3 and they worked fine too

[fent]

My code

const dispatcher = connection
        .play(ytdl(song.vid.url, {
                requestOptions: {
                    headers: {
                        'X-Youtube-Identity-Token': process.env.xyit,
                        'Cookie': 'SID='+process.env.sid+'; HSID='+process.env.hsid+'; SSID='+process.env.ssid
                    }
                }
            })
        )
        .on("error", error => console.error(error));

try removing the identity token header

[Chrisr0]

Identity token didn't work. Removing any part of cookie helps but then can't play age restricted videos.

[fent]

ah, so then the issue is related to the cookie. maybe it expired?

btw, ytdl-core should be able to play age restricted videos without a cookie

[Chrisr0]

Removing all headers worked and plays age restricted just fine. Thanks for help.

[VioletFlare]

The way I resolved it was waiting for a while (250ms) after detecting the er.statusCode status code 403 .on("error", (er) => {...}), and then re-running recursively the function containing connection.play(ytdl(...))... inside the event handler.

🤔 creepy - but glad it worked for you
