[soundcloud] ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 404: Not Found. Second

[ghost]

actual v2013.11.20. one month ago everything was ok. i get following message:

youtube-dl -t https://soundcloud.xyz
[soundcloud] xyz: Resolving ID
[soundcloud] xyz: Downloading info JSON
[soundcloud] xyz: Extracting information
ERROR:unable to download video data: HTTP Error 404: Not found

[phihag]

Thank you for the report, but I presume you've changed the output. Please post the entire output of youtube-dl when called with the -v flag, and do not edit it. Since https://soundcloud.xyz/ is not a reserved domain, an error message is indeed the correct result here. By the way, -t is a legacy option; you do not need it.

I'm closing this issue now (since there is no possible way you could get anything other than an error for the URL https://soundcloud.xyz/), but feel free to post the entire output unedited (don't forget to pass in the -v flag), and then we'll reopen this issue.

[ghost]

thats all i got. https://soundcloud.xyz is only a replacement. its exactly the same error like in this case: #1748

[phihag]

Can you please post the entire output of youtube-dl when called with -v? That output helps us to find out what the actual problem is. Otherwise, we cannot diagnose the problem. For what it's worth, this download works fine for me.

[ghost]

ok,i got it. problem solved

[phihag]

Ah, that clears it up somewhat. That particular audio file is not available via HTTP, but only RTMP. You need rtmpdump. Just place the rtmpdump.exe file in the same directory as youtube-dl.

@schezre2 Post the full output of running youtube-dl THE_URL --verbose, otherwise we can't do anything.

[phihag]

@schezre2 Just for reference, the first line of the full output should start with [debug] System config:.

[jaimeMF]

It should be fixed now, we now retrieve the url as the iPhone version does.
@andrewfree thanks for the report. About the error in ubuntu, the version seems to be really outdated (it doesn't even report the version), you'll have to ask the package maintainer to update it, the UnboundLocalError error was actually fixed some time ago.

[phihag]

@andrewfree This bug has been fixed as of youtube-dl 2013.11.21. Type sudo youtube-dl -U to update.

[ghost]

thanks you genius phi,jaime and andrew for helping completing me. exactly that was the problem, thanks for solving it.bl

[phihag]

@schezre It becomes rather hard to track issues if we're discussing multiple different problems in a single issue thread. Can you open a new issue for that?

Please include the complete output of youtube-dl when called with -v. Just copy and paste it, or redirect the output to a file and upload that file somewhere. Without the full information it's extremely hard for us to fix an issue. You can see proof of that in this very issue: Initially, we could not help you, but as soon as @andrewfree posted a complete output, a fix could be released within hours.

[ghost]

As of youtube-dl 2013.11.25.3, soundcloud downloads will be over HTTP by default. I have also fixed the rtmpdump error.
