On quite a few different sites, I get the following error -

Whats the status of this issue ? I have the same problem.

shirishag75 · 2019-10-12T19:22:53Z

@kamilPyrkosz97 They have closed it. I did send an e-mail to @dstftw but he hasn't got back to me as of yet. So don't think it will get fixed any time soonish :(

tananga · 2019-10-13T05:06:11Z

@shirishag75 Maybe it's already fixed. I ready some similar issues and they said that in the next release it will work. Let's see.

shirishag75 · 2019-10-15T21:29:14Z

@kamilPyrkosz97 @dstftw made a new release today, were you able to test it out and see if your query is resolved. If so, please let me know then will test it at my end too.

The only commit I have seen so far is 7815d6b and from the looks of it, doesn't seem to be anything great in the release.

tananga · 2019-10-15T22:41:09Z

Which command are you using in terminal ???

shirishag75 · 2019-10-15T22:56:11Z

Which command are you using in terminal ???

for what to update youtube-dl ? If you are asking for that, I usually use the instructions given at https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#installation which are -

sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

and then when I want to do a new update then -
sudo youtube-dl -U

and after it gets updated, just check with

$ youtube-dl --version

If you are asking for what I use for downloading a video file, it's usually -
$ youtube-dl -c -f $formatID $VIDEOID

$formatID could be 22 18 or any of the hls streams depending on what is exposed via

youtube-dl -F $VIDEOID

sometimes I do use torsocks -i youtube-dl -c -f and the above command.

Let me know what you are/were asking about.

tananga · 2019-10-15T23:00:54Z

Im was asking about downloading command. Im running this inside docker. How about you ? And Im downloading udemy videos. Im still testing. Im gonna tell you if I succeded.

tananga · 2019-10-15T23:08:30Z

So far It's working !!!

shirishag75 · 2019-10-15T23:20:23Z

After your go-ahead updated at my end too, I download it in debian (no docker needed/used) and it is downloading videos without issues. Thank you @dstftw

tananga · 2019-10-15T23:21:50Z

Wait now I have the same issue

tananga · 2019-10-15T23:22:18Z

After downloading something like 10 video I have unable to download video data: <urlopen error [SSL: WRONG_SIGNATURE_TYPE] wrong signature type (_ssl.c:1076)>

shirishag75 · 2019-10-15T23:34:15Z

I am hoping, guessing you are using the --verbose switch ? Are you also using torsocks, or without that ?

tananga · 2019-10-16T00:10:59Z

No Im just putting youtube-dl -u someemail@wp.pl -p simpletest123 -o '/containerUdemy/%(playlist)s/%(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.udemy.com/javascriptfundamentals/ in terminal.

Only difference seems to be you are using a slightly older version of python3, the rest I don't know. I used reportbug to generate the versions of various dependencies.

shirishag75 · 2019-10-16T19:59:57Z

@kamilPyrkosz97 I was thinking about your issue today, one thing which might perhaps might help you is using strace. See https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/293090/strace-syscall-classes . You would have to talk to @dstftw or somebody else to narrow down which syscalls to do and see. It is also possible that there may be either corruption or some race condition which is not being detected. But doing all of that is draining and time-consuming. I dunno how much you are interested in digging deep, but that's all I can offer atm :)

tananga · 2019-10-17T05:45:57Z

I solved it. I just turn wifi off an on again and it works. After few minutes issue show once again but im again turn off and on wifi and I works !!!

shirishag75 · 2019-11-14T06:01:52Z

that didn't work at my end. At my end at some videos, it just refuses to work :(

beren12 · 2019-11-29T18:43:00Z

I am hitting this on nickjr.com sometimes. I'm just using the latest youtube-dl and wrapping it in a while true loop. It eventually works.

edelmoral · 2020-01-04T06:50:46Z

This isn't a direct issue of youtube-dl, this is related to openssl version 1.1.1 hardening the security of your system... in fact, the interoperability bug is on the server side (appears to be a wrong TLS 1.2 implementation). I don't know why this isn't overcome with the --no-check-certificate parameter, but if you're using Debian 10 (no idea where is located in other distros), just open your /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf , go to the last line and change:

CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=2

to:

CipherString = DEFAULT@SECLEVEL=1

Bear in mind that you are making your system less secure with this workaround, so use it with caution
