Description

Trying to download the audio of a YouTube video. (As I have for several years, using the same command format)
youtube-dl -f 140 https://youtu.be/Z5-rdr0qhWk?si=GQzP0TI3DqEMOc2U
I have the latest version.
Other commands fail in the same way.
Summary trace:
a long list of "WARNING: unable to extract player URL"
followed by "ERROR: No video formats found"

I have the same problem, using 2023.08.07 (same messages and same traceback, albeit with different line numbers).

Same here.

... Actually, you are, so why haven't you checked that ? 😉

I have the latest version.

... You think you do:

[debug] youtube-dl version 2023.08.28.40298 (single file build)
** This build is unofficial daily builds, provided for ease of use.
** Please do not ask for any support.

... but, in reality, you DON'T!

The "unofficial daily builds" that are being auto-released by GitHub Actions and are found in below repo:

https://github.com/ytdl-patched/youtube-dl/tags

are, in fact, being compiled on quite old yt-dl source code, specifically master-git-20230617-g07af479 from 2.5 months ago...
As pinned issue #30839 explains (which you should've carefully read prior to filing a new issue here 😜 ), having the "latest" yt-dl version now implies you have migrated to the "nightly" update channel,

https://github.com/ytdl-org/ytdl-nightly/releases/latest

which now is at version 2023.08.07 ; having done that, you'd have probably still encountered #32499 (as attested by @brickinthewall4138), but, at least, you'd have truly been on "latest" 😉 ...

@Vangelis66 thanks for the clarification.
I admit, I just used the -U option and assumed I had the "latest". Mea culpa.
But, as you expected, the nightly build didn't actually fix the problem. :-(

Absent divulging, cookies should work round the issue per #32499.

... Until dirkf kindly divulges the "WIP YT extractor" code 😄 , I "shoehorned" in yt-dl's youtube.py the "downstream" fix from yt-dlp/yt-dlp@378ae9f

Thanks for this!🌻

I applied the change in youtube.py and compiled again.
No error now. 🙂

I tried the --cookies switch as described in the FAQ (search for cookies).
This did indeed fix the problem. So many thanks for the suggestion.

I was using Chrome and got the "get cookies.txt LOCALLY" extension.
I opened YouTube and the video I wanted.
Then created a cookies.txt file using the extension.
Then the following command line (and result):

youtube-dl --cookies .\www.youtube.com_cookies.txt -f 140 https://youtu.be/Z5-rdr0qhWk?si=-N0irE61t6FmzdSe

WARNING: Z5-rdr0qhWk: writing DASH m4a. Only some players support this container. Install ffmpeg or avconv to fix this automatically.

I'm ok with that kind of workaround, but it would be nice if youtube-dl worked without faffing with cookies.

Thanks for the help.
Should I close this issue? Or leave it open?
