I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.08.27.1
At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

When you try to use login credentials using --username and --password on Twitch.tv now, youtube-dl gets redirected and aborts downloading the video(s).

A workaround is to create a cookies.txt file using --cookies together with --username and --password once (it gets created despite the redirect error) and then invoke youtube-dl a second time without the --username and --password command options but only using --cookies cookies.txt.

Being able to use login credentials or cookies with youtube-dl is important because some streamers make their VODs only available to subscribers.

Also note that this bug is reproducable with any Twitch.tv VOD not just sub-only VODs, all it takes is trying to use --username and --password for the redirect error to occur.

Post the output of --dump-pages.

Not a big surprise it gets redirected to a login page:

I have the same problem. The described workaround also works for me. Thanks @Gorrrg!

dglo · 2017-09-08T01:24:13Z

Looks like the response includes 'redirect_path' now. Changing the 'redirect_url = urljoin(...)' line to this fixed the problem for me:

        if 'redirect_path' in response:
            redirect_url = urljoin(post_url, response['redirect_path'])
        else:
            redirect_url = urljoin(post_url, response['redirect'])

Ajedi32 · 2017-09-21T04:24:47Z

Thanks, I'm having the same issue. The workaround worked for me.

rien333 · 2017-09-22T15:08:51Z

Can someone help me with the workaround?

I tried:

$ youtube-dl --password 'my-password' --username 'my-username' --cookies cookies.txt 'url'
[fails with the error from OP]

Error 403 means that you have successfully authenticated but you don't have permission to acess that resource.

Had same issue on this page.

Past episode that requires subscription.

Cloning repo and making @dglo's change to the twitch extractor worked for me as well.

For folks that land here that don't know exactly what to do to fix this if you have even a tiny bit of git and python knowledge you just need to modify the twitch.py extractor file after cloning the repo.

$ git diff 
diff --git a/youtube_dl/extractor/twitch.py b/youtube_dl/extractor/twitch.py
index f9164af09..69489d40d 100644
--- a/youtube_dl/extractor/twitch.py
+++ b/youtube_dl/extractor/twitch.py
@@ -88,7 +88,11 @@ class TwitchBaseIE(InfoExtractor):
                     fail(response['message'])
                 raise
 
-            redirect_url = urljoin(post_url, response['redirect'])
+            if 'redirect_path' in response:
+                redirect_url = urljoin(post_url, response['redirect_path'])

             return self._download_webpage_handle(
                 redirect_url, None, 'Downloading login redirect page',
                 headers=headers)

Then you can download the vid you want by running a command like this from the top level of the repo.

$ python -m youtube_dl -u NAME -p PASS https://www.twitch.tv/videos/217708370

@rmanly @dglo If that change fixes the problem I suggest you submit it as PR to the repo and solve this issue for everyone, permanently.

mikhailbot · 2018-01-12T22:31:04Z

Had the same issue and the initial cookies.txt workaround works for downloading VODs that require a subscription (which I have).
