Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have downloaded other media from this website successfully but this playlist keeps giving me errors. I just updated to the latest version and it still doesn't work. It is quite a long playlist so perhaps that is the problem.

My configuration file looks like this:

Save options

-o Z:/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s

[markhavemann]

Just to clarify, I am currently in China and can access the website without any problems, even though it may be restricted in other countries.

[yan12125]

I got a China proxy and it's working for me:

Could you run youtube-dl -v http://www.iqiyi.com/a_19rrhbcuq9.html --write-pages and upload all *.dump files?

[markhavemann]

For some reason I couldn't upload the files directly so here is a link to them on Microsoft OneDrive:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aga1JaEdoW7Rhm68JuOeBr9ZlzWX

[yan12125]

There should be a file called temp_id_http_-_www.iqiyi.com_a_19rrhbcuq9.html.dump. Could you check again you've included all files in Youtube-dl Dumps Files.zip? Also, could you paste the log of this command?

youtube-dl -v "http://www.iqiyi.com/a_19rrhbcuq9.html" --write-pages

[markhavemann]

Sorry for the long delay in my reply. I've uploaded the file you requested here:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!Aga1JaEdoW7RiX5pRZd3aHw-K00r

I've also included two other dump files that were with it that might be needed. Is this what you mean by the log of that command:

Sorry for the delay. I've tried to fix the issue based on those dump files. Could you verify it? @nuomi1 @markhavemann

[nuomi1]

@yan12125 OK.

[yan12125]

@nuomi1 Do you mean my patch indeed fixes the problem or you're going to try?

[markhavemann]

@yan12125 looks like it's worked for me! I can download without any errors so far.

Thank you so much!!

[yan12125]

Thanks for the feedback. Feel free to leave comments if similar issues emerge again.
