Hello, like 6 month ago i added a custom option to youtube-dl (bindaddress) in order to bind an ip address to youtube-dl video info get and video download, fo this i added this in init.py:

    commandLineConf = sys.argv[1:]
    argv = systemConf + userConf + commandLineConf
    opts, args = parser.parse_args(argv)

    if opts.bindaddress:
        true_socket = socket.socket
        def bound_socket(*a, **k):
            sock = true_socket(*a, **k)
            sock.bind(("%s" % opts.bindaddress, 0))
            return sock
        socket.socket = bound_socket    

    if opts.verbose:
        write_string(u'[debug] System config: ' + repr(_hide_login_info(systemConf)) + '\n')
        write_string(u'[debug] User config: ' + repr(_hide_login_info(userConf)) + '\n')
        write_string(u'[debug] Command-line args: ' + repr(_hide_login_info(commandLineConf)) + '\n')

return parser, opts, args

def _real_main(argv=None):

I updated youtube-dl 2 days ago and ofc, this custom functionality does not work anymore, i know that this option works untill this commit: 79d09f4

maybe someone knows how o reimport it ? or another way to bind my ip addresses to youtube-dl.

Thanks.

There is now the option --source-address that should cover your use case. IMHO this issue can be closed.

Yep, --source-address works just the same as the original poster's patch. Anyway thanks for the idea and the code!
