Description

I am able to download Standard shows successfully. The error only occurs for Plus shows.

Standard urls that work:

https://www.viki.com/videos/1172605v-tale-of-the-nine-tailed-episode-1
https://www.viki.com/videos/1172625v-true-beauty-episode-1

Plus urls that give the same HTTP Error 500:

https://www.viki.com/videos/1173419v-the-penthouse-episode-1
https://www.viki.com/videos/1176903v-witches-episode-1

Could you test it again with cookies?

I extracted cookies from viki.com using get cookies.txt. Adding cookies results in the same error:

Do not pass the headers. yt-dlp automatically uses 'x-viki-app-ver': '4.0.57'. As far as I know, 2.2.5 is deprecated.

https://www.viki.com/videos/1173419v-the-penthouse-episode-1 works for me without any additional options. I cannot test the others since I don't have an account that has access to them

If I don't pass the headers, I get a 404 error:

youtube-dlc --netrc --write-sub --sub-lang "en,ko,zh" --sub-format srt --verbose --cookies viki.com_cookies.txt https://www.viki.com/videos/1173419v-the-penthouse-episode-1

I am running on Windows 10, if that makes a difference.

Also I need to add the headers to download the standard links. It will fail with a 404 on standard files if I don't add the headers.

It works for me.
But when I used a US VPN, it is giving me a 401 - which makes sense, since penthouse seems to be free in India

I did some digging on this issue and found ytdl-org/youtube-dl#26522
The videos you are trying to download are probably DRM protected

You could try using a VPN/proxy to bypass it

Ok, using a VPN allows me to download the file. I still had to add the headers, though. Also, I still get a 500 error downloading the JSON metadata, but it will continue on and download the file

Since VPN is working, it is almost definitely DRM issue. Ideally, the error message should reflect this. But other than that, nothing can be done
