Description

I try to download any video from vk.com and It returns HTTP error 404 as you can see. I use cookies to log in. In cookies.txt I have only vk.com cookies I downloaded with Get cookies.txt addon for Chrome. The video and URL surely exist. The python code you can see here:

import youtube_dl


def get_video():
    message_chat_id = 'any int'
    message_id = message_chat_id
    name = './tmp/' + message_chat_id + "_" + message_id
    video = 'https://vk.com/video/@pitbullmonster?z=video-60099869_456246720%2Fclub60099869%2Fpl_-60099869_-2'
    youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'outtmpl': name, 'cookiefile': './cookies.txt', 'verbose': True}).download([video])

get_video()

The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:

My issue seems to be unrelated, sorry

dirkf · 2023-02-03T20:59:56Z

Although I can't get the video without account details, I can't reproduce the problem with the yt-dl program (as opposed to your wrapper). Both the git master and release versions identify that I would need to be a registered user. Perhaps VK checks the user details before trying to find the referenced resource, and the 404 only arises then.

Please run youtube-dl --cookies ./cookies.txt -v --ignore-config 'https://vk.com/video/@pitbullmonster?z=video-60099869_456246720%2Fclub60099869%2Fpl_-60099869_-2'

docryte · 2023-02-03T21:30:34Z

Command returns the same. Also you can open this video by link in incognito mode and It will still work. I think, If there was a login problem, It would return an "This video is only available for registered users" error.

docryte@docryte:~/PycharmProjects/utilabot$ youtube-dl --cookies './cookies.txt' -v --ignore-config 'https://vk.com/video/@pitbullmonster?z=video-60099869_456246720%2Fclub60099869%2Fpl_-60099869_-2'

Indeed, "This video is only available for registered users" is what I get. What happens if you leave out the --cookies ...?

october262 · 2023-02-04T08:55:42Z

this works - youtube-dl -o '%(title).20s' --no-part --restrict-filenames --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/109.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" --add-header "Cookie:tstc=p; Expires=Tue, 01 Feb 2033 08:39:34 GMT; Path=/; HttpOnly;" --referer "https://vk.com" "https://vkvd183.mycdn.me/?expires=1675759170076&srcIp=76.8.147.101&pr=40&srcAg=CHROME&ms=185.226.52.188&type=1&sig=0yVLdX9Gj88&ct=6&urls=45.136.21.139&clientType=13&appId=512000384397&id=1058544814656"

dirkf · 2023-02-04T14:47:54Z

Yes, but in order to get to that point yt-dl has to fetch the JSON that lists that URL. What about #31512 (comment)?

I wonder what the tstc cookie means.

BudAlNik · 2023-02-09T10:56:02Z

It seems I fixed this issue by replacing one of the arguments for al_video.php request. I replaced 'act': 'show_inline' with 'act': 'show' at 317 line of vk.py. After that, I was able to download the needed video, and I checked that it was working on a couple more. But it still doesn't work without cookies, and I couldn't understand why.

But I don't exactly understand what am I doing, so I wouldn't rather create a pull request.

dirkf · 2023-02-09T18:29:13Z

OK, that rings a bell: try the patch at #31035 (comment) !

docryte · 2023-02-12T23:03:35Z

Well, fixes in both last two comments work, but now mostly the same code returns a different error. I think reason for this error isn't related to vk.py but I also didn't found someone with the same error. I can close the issue if you think i need open new issue to fix this.

Code:

import youtube_dl


def get_video():
    video = 'https://vk.com/video/@pitbullmonster?z=video-60099869_456246720%2Fclub60099869%2Fpl_-60099869_-2'
    youtube_dl.YoutubeDL({'cookiefile': './cookies.txt', 'verbose': True}).download([video])
