MinigetError: Status Code 403

[jbelford]

For some videos the stream will error out with this.

The last stream this occurred with was for this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_V_2BFWahc

I'm also just calling ytdl like this to get the stream

ytdl(track.url, { filter: 'audioonly', quality: 'highestaudio' });

It seems to happen randomly and I can't seem to reproduce the error. I'm on the latest version though and it seems there was an older thread #417 but that was closed a while ago

Me too

Have u fixed?

nope .

[TimeForANinja]

did some testing a while back...
you might know that the format url's are ip & time restricted
breaking those limitations results in a statuscode 403
so this might occur when playing long streams or fetching the info way ahead of actually requesting the resource
might this be the problem?

Hey , yes this might be the problem , becouse happen to me when I play a long playlist

[Vw7sh]

@TimeForANinja
Yes, that is the problem.

[AkatGabrielGoncalves]

Any updates? I'm getting this error quite constantly, the most problematic part is that it crashes the whole application, you can try to reproduce it in my FelicityBot repository, right now I changed the ytdl dependency to ytdl-discord, but this problem continues regardless. I can get this error quite constantly using this playlist that I created to "stress-test", so it is the same video over and over again.
It is totally random when it happens.

I made a way to not crash my bot for anyone that needs it. the thing is that:

const stream = await ytdl(url, {
        quality: 'highestaudio',
        filter: 'audioonly',
        requestOptions: {
          headers: {
            cookie: process.env.YOUTUBE_LOGIN_COOKIE,
          },
        },
      });
const audioResource = createAudioResource(stream, {
        inputType: StreamType.Opus,
      });

      this.player.play(audioResource);

when you play this stream no try catch can catch the error because the stream is asynchronous what I did is this, after the play method:

const funcao = stream.listeners('error')[2];
stream.removeListener('error', funcao);

      stream.on('error', (err) => {
        try {
          throw new Error();
        } catch {
          stream.destroy();
          console.log(err);
        }
      });

This removes the last listener that the stream have, which is the one that breaks our bot, then add our own listener to handle that error. You could remove all error listeners too. This is the best I could came up with for now.

any updates? I'm getting this error randomly and it's very frustrating. I've read here that it could be because of fetching the info some time before it actually gets used but I don't really understand how can that affect me as I only fetch video URLs in this format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID without any time or ip data...

I am getting this same error with my discord music bot, last time it crashed it was playing a looped song and crashed about 40 minutes into replaying the looped song. However other times it will crash first time playing anything. Gonna try adding own error listeners to not crash it

[Arniox]

I'm also getting this error on random videos

[elliotwestlake]

Same here 😢

[Laljaka]

Same problem here.
Happens right after video info was retrieved as I never fetch it ahead of time. Possible to overcome by implementing retries, but it's slows the program.
Would be nice if this can be fixed.
Thank you.

[KevinKib]

Just got the same error :(

[fobdev]

Still don't know how to bypass this without making my discord bot stop playing.
Any solutions? I'm dropping the bot from the voice channel when the error happens, people needs to do the request again.

You can listen for the player error event, inside check if the error contains the 403 code and if so, try playing again the song. Sometimes it doesn't return the same error, other times you have to try playing the song like 4 times until it plays without the error. You can also play the song using youtube-dl after the error.

it's not work.. currently I only getting 403 error. Can't play music..

const stream = await ytdl(this.currentSong.url, {
                highWaterMark: 1 << 25,
                filter: 'audioonly',
            });

Apparently this is a youtube related problem, I don't think devs can fix this, sure there is a workaround, but it's the right way?

[TimeForANinja]

should be fixed with #1022

[Namnp1521]

any update? i still got this error

[LuciferSharma]
