Issues with youtube dl on Azure app services

[nkt217]

Bug when trying to download youtube videos on Azure app services.

I was using youtube-dl 2018.04.03 till yesterday and updated to the latest 2018.7.21 today and on both version facing the same issues when trying to download youtube videos or captions.
Attached the logs that I am seeing below. I am using this from the node module here.

youtube-dl --verbose "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hz3P1VgLz4"
[debug] System config: []
[debug] User config: []
[debug] Custom config: []
[debug] Command-line args: ['--verbose', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Hz3P1VgLz4']
Traceback (most recent call last):

PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied

I tried the solution presented here but when I try with python version 3.5.2 and zipped youtube-dl I see the below error.

D:\home\python354x86\python.exe: can't find '__main__' module in 'youtube-dl'

What could I be doing wrong here?

My Description

I used this on my local as well as on an Ubuntu machine and it works fine.

exe ships own older python version that has this python bug. You have to either build exe against newer python version or run it from sources.
