Description

This specific video (but not others from youtube) always gives error "ERROR: Did not get any data blocks"

[millivanilla]

Always stops at the same byte mark. Works fine in web browser.

[dstftw]

Server side youtube failure. Select another format.

[millivanilla]

How is this a server side issue if it works fine in firefox, chrome etc?

[dstftw]

Browser does not use format you request.

[millivanilla]

Browser does not use format you request.

But I did not request any specific format,

[debug] Default format spec: best/bestvideo+bestaudio

Youtube-dl should recognize this error and pick a format that will work

[dstftw]

It can't cause it impossible to know that beforehand.
