Specific YouTube video giving extraction errors and timeout #18586
Comments

Most likely a network issue on your side. |

Seems like a peering issue with my ISP, that specific googlevideo server (31.46.22.89) responds with a 200 OK but returns no data after that, or sometimes it does not respond at all. |

In Chrome it also fails but it falls back to r3---sn-c0q7lnly.googlevideo.com (74.125.154.8) which appears to be a Google US CDN. Perhaps it would be possible to implement a fallback in youtube-dl as well. |

I'm seeing this with multiple videos since at least yesterday. A fallback like the one mentioned above would be great. Several hosts are down, apparently, (in chromium also, but due to some fallback it chooses different hosts and it then works after a few seconds): Hosts down that I know of, so far:
I do remember one host(the r9 one), yesterday, responding to ping but not to TCP (ie. SYN_SENT was the only one visible in Sample affected videos(not in the same order for the hosts above): Known working hosts, in the same /24 net:
EDIT: all of the videos above just got fixed (23 dec 2018) and are no longer using any of the down hosts. |
