Unable extract direct url from Youku, Youtube of China.
www.youku.com

zhengxiexie · 2014-09-25T07:40:10Z

In fact, I can get the url, but the url is not valid. Maybe Youku has changed it's protocal, I'm in a hurry to complete a project which relies on youtube-dl tightly, who can help me?

juancri · 2014-09-25T08:41:24Z

Can you please post the output of youtube-dl using the --verbose argument? Thank you!

Above is the log, I hear that we should use javascript to reslove the url, who can deal with it ?

juancri · 2014-09-25T09:32:41Z

I'll try to look into this but I get a different error (below). Do you know if the service behavior depends on the user's location?

Can you visit http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTM3MzUxNTY=.html?f=1095101 ? If it succed, it shouldn't depend on location.

I think the url is not right ~

phihag · 2014-09-25T10:53:21Z

as @juancri said, the output of youtube-dl -v is usually required to debug an issue, as detailed in our bug reporting insturctions.Fortunately this issue is debuggable without - obviously, the ep= URL part is missing and it should be there. I won't have much time until the weekend though, but if anyone figures out how to generate this part, you're very welcome to say so.

zhengxiexie · 2014-09-25T12:13:13Z

Sorry, it's my first time to post issues on github, I will be careful next time.Yes, the ep= URL part is missing, I wonder what does it mean of ep ?

zhengxiexie · 2014-09-27T02:01:22Z

Who can help me, please?
