Podsync ignoring timeout value?

[gthbusrr]

I tried to download a youtube video >3 hrs long. I've set my timeout value to 3600, basically I want podsync to just let it download the video. However, it just timeoutted within around 1 minute.

time="2022-03-19T01:17:03-04:00" level=info msg="! downloading episode https://youtube.com/watch?v={{truncated}}" episode_id={{truncated}} index=0
time="2022-03-19T01:18:17-04:00" level=error msg="youtube-dl error: /tmp/podsync-{{truncated}}.%(ext)s" error="failed to execute youtube-dl: exit status 1"

I've also extracted the error log from youtube-dl and here's the extract of the log

[debug] Command-line config: ['--format', 'bestvideo[height<=1440][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc1]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/best[height<=1440][ext=mp4][vcodec^=avc1]/best[ext=mp4]/best', '--write-sub', '--embed-subs', '--sub-lang', 'en.*,zh.*', '-vvv', '--output', '/tmp/podsync-{{truncated}}.%(ext)s', 'https://youtube.com/watch?v={{truncated}}']

I tried to run youtube-dl directly in the container with

docker exec -it {{container name}} youtube-dl {{options copied from log}}

and it did not timeout so I suspect that it has nothing to do with youtube-dl but podsync.

Thanks a lot.

I just ran into similar problems, although the timeout parameter as defined in the sample config worked for me (putting it to 120 min = 2 hours):

# Download timeout in minutes.
timeout = 120
