  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.07.21

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

  • At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
  • Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
  • Checked that provided video/audio/playlist URLs (if any) are alive and playable in a browser

What is the purpose of your issue?

  • Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)
  • Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)
  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)
  • Question
  • Other

Recently the video hosting platform streamcloud.eu started requiring the HTTP Referer Header to be set, thus youtube-dl currently fails with

ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

It seems to me this should be fixable by adding an extra entry

'http_headers': { 'Referer': video_id, }

to the return value of StreamcloudIE._real_extract

Workaround for those with an older version: Set this header on the command line.

youtube-dl --add-header Referer:abcd1234 http://streamcloud.eu/abcd1234/move_title.mkv.html
