500 Error on GAE

[docsuleman]

Hey Developers!

Thanks for making such wonderful application. I recently installed youtube-dl-api-server on GAE by using your documents as tutorial but I am receiving 500 server Error. All my libraries are up to date. and also in right directories (as far as i know). but still receiving this error.

PS: Please update youtube-dl in your example GAE application. the old one is not working since yesterday

Works fine for me, please post the full log messages.

I have updated the GAE app, but please: use it only for testing, not for your own apps.

[docsuleman]

Yes dear I am not using for any app. i was just testing.. and i thought to let you know :)

here is log file..

Can you try replacing this line with sed -i "s/import ${module}/()# Removed ${module} import/g" "$f" and follow again the instructions?

is it normal?

That's because you are probably using GNU sed, if you edit the file as I said it should work (I just tested it).

Anyway, I will switch to something other than sed, because the -i option is not compatible between the GNU and the BSD versions.

[docsuleman]

Thank you so much.. its working now.. actually the link you shared was broken and i edited the wrong line :) sorry my bad.. alothough its giving me another error right now .. its about ERROR: Unable to extract JS player URL; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug.. but i guess if i update YOUTUBE-DL issue will be fixed.

[jaimeMF]

My fault, it was this line

I have pushed a change that should fixed, if it doesn't work please open a new issue. Thanks for the report.

[jaimeMF]

I forgot about the other message, ./devscripts/setup-gae.sh should upgrade youtube-dl. If it still fails check first if you can play the video in the broswer. If it works: try running youtube-dl URL, if that fails it should be reported to youtube-dl.
