Description

Hi. I'am using YouTube-dl since years. Never had a problem. I have over 20 server running YouTube-dl but since 3 days i get an error "YouTube said: Unable to extract video data" but ONLY when I use "--source-address"

youtube-dl -v --get-duration --get-url --get-title --no-progress --no-warnings --source-address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX -f 22/17/18 "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXXXX" 2>&1

When I use --proxy it works, when I use without --source-address it works. I didn't changed anything on the server and on the script. I have thousands of proxy (which I use with --proxy) and over 10 Server IP's each server. The server ip's are not blocked I checked it - it works well without --source-address. I have an autoupdate script which checks every 10 minutes for new updated YouTube-dl so that's also not the problem.

I just replaced my IP with XXXXXXXXX

Thanks for help!

EDIT: I just tried to download the same video using the Windows version and it went fine! I wonder if the issue is from the Ubuntu system where something is missing.
