I'm trying to use youtube-dl to download videos and I'm randomly getting an error:
ERROR: Did not get any data blocksHowever, if I restart youtube-dl, it appears to resume downloading and doesn't need to restart from the beginning of the file. The only problem is that youtube-dl doesn't automatically retry (resume) the download. I need to restart the application a couple of times until it finally completes successfully.
Can I have youtube-dl automatically to restart/resume the download for a certain number of attempts? The command-line arguments --retries and --fragment-retries do not work.
