ERROR: YouTube said: The uploader has not made this video available in your country on artist videos

[TheGr33k]

Hi

I am not able to download files from certain popular artists(Pitbull and Ke$ha )
I ran the following command
youtube-dl -f 18 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHUbLv4ThOo

I get
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] hHUbLv4ThOo: Downloading webpage
[youtube] hHUbLv4ThOo: Downloading video info webpage
ERROR: YouTube said: The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

I tried from 3 different servers each located in Atlanta , Seattle and Netherlands respectively but i still get same error

Btw the software is really awesome and is definitely a great piece of work

Regards

Can you post the output of

curl yt-dl.org/ip
youtube-dl -v hHUbLv4ThOo

from one of the servers?

The video does seem to be blocked in Germany and France, but I can download it just fine from California and Virginia..

Mmm, that looks quite in order. When you try over IPv4 (sorry, there's no switch for it yet - you'll have to temporarily remove the IPv6 address with ip -6 addr del 2604:180::b09b:c107 or so), do you get the same error? Also, can you access the videos in question via a web browser when coming from that IP?

[TheGr33k]

If i remove it how can i add it again ?

[TheGr33k]

Btw when i tried

ip -6 addr del 2604:180::b09b:c107

I get
Not enough information: "dev" argument is required.

[phihag]

To find the device, type ip -6 addr.

You can then remove the address with

ip -6 addr del 2604:180::b09b:c107 dev DEVICE_GOES_HERE

to restore the address, rerun the same command with add instead of del (if all else fails, you can also reboot the machine).

[TheGr33k]

ip -6 addr

Gives

What is the device in this case

[phihag]

Oh, you have lots of IPv6 addresses. Then it will not be feasible to remove one. I'll try to add a flag to youtube-dl for debugging, but that may take some time.

[TheGr33k]

Please try your best to solve it asap as youtube-dl is a key component for my website

I had the same error, downloading the video from a french server. I forwarded my laptop connection to the server and accessed the video with Firefox. Youtube url : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6eQbIpAvUA

As soon as I removed my ipv6, it worked like a charm…

Error message:
ERROR: -6eQbIpAvUA: YouTube said: The uploader has not made this video available in your country.

[pricejn2]

Would have not thought IPv6 was the issue! Thanks.

[tanmauwu]

As it's been almost five years, and @Buzut seemed to have provided a solution, perhaps this issue should be closed.

[LubosKolouch]

This is now quite old issue - should be probably closed...
