Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I can't download a generated URL with -g parameter on another computer (with a different IP). But I can download URL's generated by other online generators on different PC.

Example: Link generated by youtube-dl using following code;
youtube-dl -f "mp4" -g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvZqHgFz51I

Output: https://r5---sn-ab5l6n6s.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?mn=sn-ab5l6n6s&expire=1503367382&mm=31&gcr=us&ipbits=0&ip=185.92.223.123&key=yt6&lmt=1500315296370559&dur=289.552&mv=u&pl=25&mt=1503345660&ms=au&ei=dTybWamNOI2KhAfGl7OgAQ&source=youtube&sparams=dur%2Cei%2Cgcr%2Cid%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Clmt%2Cmime%2Cmm%2Cmn%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cpl%2Cratebypass%2Crequiressl%2Csource%2Cexpire&mime=video%2Fmp4&id=o-AFthCo2M6zs28lyJSRYN3dHwh1X-Zt_8Rbh8JllVT34B&itag=22&ratebypass=yes&requiressl=yes&signature=96947A07F4E861B1BCB58C40FD8D89C2CE9CE43E.2A0BF8EAF135D18120808511174DE5C687C6268C

Result: This link doesn't work on another PC with a different IP.

However, when I generate similar link with some other online conversion tool. the link will be as follows;

Output: http://r5---sn-nv47ln7e.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?sparams=dur,ei,expire,gcr,id,initcwndbps,ip,ipbits,itag,lmt,mime,mip,mm,mn,ms,mv,pl,ratebypass,source&ipbits=0&ip=31.145.111.25&lmt=1500315296370559&itag=22&gcr=tr&ei=3SSbWc_KLMPkcOKgrYgI&id=o-APezT-XXhQnWUVxZP6jTTCYjrNFPvcgROCdTGniBv_O8&ratebypass=yes&key=cms1&pl=22&source=youtube&expire=1503361341&dur=289.552&mime=video%2Fmp4&signature=4BF64991FDE984E809625D1BB8BE6001ED630F54.0B904622F0BFFD496E329EF655CFEDA54B286EF0&title=Future+-+Mask+Off&cms_redirect=yes&mip=85.105.212.37&mm=31&mn=sn-nv47ln7e&ms=au&mt=1503345860&mv=m

Result: This link works on another PC with a different IP. Note the mip parameter on this link, it sends my ip to Google. This link has different values as well, for example key parameter is cms1 instead of yt6, and it has an extra cms_redirect=yes. But I think those parameters changes signatures or something, because it doesn't work when I try to set them on link generated from youtube-dl.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

And both really result in the same format?

[barisahmet]

What do you mean? If you mean file format, yes. Both are MP4.

[Hrxn]

Yes, but also same checksum, etc. ?

[barisahmet]

Yes, they have same md5 checksum. Just checked it now.
