HTTP Error 402: Payment Required

I do not know if that is a bug.

I have updated and here goes the verbose output as required.

Thanks for reporting, other users have already reported this problem : #1307, but I cannot reproduce the errors.

[pravsingh]

is it because I exceeded the download limits?

I'm also getting the same error:

I m making use of Youtube-dl in my app: http://boxmydownloads.com/

It downloads your urls directly in your Dropbox (including videos from Youtube)

The link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfndCiKYO40' works on Boxmydownloads, since its built on Youtube-dl, I m sure its not an issue with Youtube-dl.

It can be because the uploader has banned the video access from your Country.

[pravsingh]

thanks! will try it out ur site.

I found out the reason. basically when this issue happens, I tried playing a video on youtube and I got below message:
"Sorry for the interruption. We have been receiving a large volume of requests from your network. To continue with your YouTube experience, please enter the verification code below."

once I verified by entering the captcha, it started working.

[pravsingh]

hey Virendra,
do you support downloading whole playlist?

[pravsingh]

try my repo, one of them is having that command.

[bkvirendra]

not rightnow! We are using a very small portion of Youtube-dl.

But we are slowly adding more and more features to.

We'll keep you updated with it

[pravsingh]

u could try https://github.com/pravsingh/youtube-dl/blob/master/yt_tools.sh

@pravsingh As documented in our FAQ 402 errors are youtube's way of saying that you've downloaded too much. By the way, here are a few comments to your tools:

• In ytlist, you don't need to invent an URL. Instead, passing the playlist ID directly to youtube-dl should work. I'm not sure what you want to do with the metadata only. Why don't you just call youtube-dl on the whole playlist in the first place?
• In ytdownload: Why are you explicitly passing in -c? It is already the default (or more precisely, the default is letting youtube-dl do what is best in the situation).
• In ytdownload: --max-quality --restrict-filenames is a bug, there's no such quality. Most likely, you wanted the highest available quality, and youtube-dl downloads that by default. It looks like you are on Linux; why do you want --restrict-filenames?
• I'm not sure what the renaming business in yt2mp3 is about. Why do you do that?

I think you can just replace the whole ytlist / ytdownload with one evocation of

youtube-dl -i -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -k -x --audio-format mp3 PL18969FDC598E971F
