It seems all the data is downloaded, but the duration is wrong. Workaround: run Edit: Okay, that doesn't work, but the data is definitely there. |

Try using this flag: --hls-prefer-native |

@HyperPlaneSubSpacePilot That log I provided is with It seems that no matter what I do, the wrong time is recorded. The full video will still be there, but nothing can play past the first ad break. |

I am running into this issue downloading from Cartoon Network, another Tuner site. It only downloads the first 11 min until the first commercial break, but the file is 2GB, which makes me think it's all there. I've tried --hls-prefer-natiive, --include-ads, --hls-use-mpegts, --keep-fragments Fyi, this is the video I'm trying to download: https://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/ben-10/innervasion-episode.html I have this over and over in the event log: Anyone ever figure it out? |

If you're able to stick with [edit:] additional details here |

Is there anything we can do to get this working? Or Provide the developers with anything? |
|
you can start by providing a publically accessible URL(does not require an account) that has this problem. |

This one doesn't require an account, but it is US only, so you may need a VPN. https://www.tbs.com/shows/the-misery-index/season-1/episode-1/that-milk-must-have-turned-by-now |

A few other people are having the same issue. Might just have to wait and see if anyone can figure it out. |

you didn't post the part when the download process is done(just to verify that the HLS Native Downloader is the one used to download the file). other differences such as the OS(Linux vs Window) and Python version(3.8.0 vs 2.7.16) should not be relevant. |

I don't know if this helps, but I was able to get this working after reading these linked issues, including subtitles after running CCExtractor as well. This downloads the file correctly. Then I ran CCExtractor (GUI, I'm lazy) to dump an SRT conversion of the embedded EIA_608 captions. With iTunes files, ffmpeg can read them because they're a separate stream, but Turner has them embedded in the video stream. Here's the input/output if you're interested? The above step isn't really necessary, but I use mkv and want the thumbnail. The "cover.jpg" referenced below is just the iTunes Season 4 cover. So if you were so inclined you could drop Not sure if This gives me an MKV with:
There isn't a way to have youtube-dl do the last two steps, is there? With or without the thumbs. |

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
Attempting to download from TBS because their site is garbage and takes forever to get working. It used to work fine. Now I'm having trouble getting it to download past the first commercial. If I use ffmpeg, I'm guaranteed to only get up to the first commercial. Other issues suggest using
--hls-prefer-native, so I switched to that. I still end up with just the first segment (764.22MiB), but now I getERROR: av_interleaved_write_frame(): Invalid argumenton top of that. The only solution I can find for that issue is to use--prefer-ffmpeg(#15010, #9631), which won't work since I'll only get the first segment (up until the ads).Someone else seems to be encountering the same issue: #15395 (comment) I get a very similar (enormous) log if I use ffmpeg. For
seg-0URLs, it works fine. Forseg-1and beyond:The end of the ffmpeg log, in case it's of any use:
I tried
--include-ads, as well; no luck.The URL I provided as an example doesn't require MSO auth. For URLs in the same series that require MSO auth, I'm encountering #16084 as well, which should be easier to fix.
