Different results for different countries

[ayushhgoyal]

I am getting correct results on my local machine (India) while when I installed in on Amazon Web Services (Oregon) and executed the command, returned results are different. Moreover, its not working.
Testing url: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvngY4unjn4
Command: youtube-dl --extract-audio --get-url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvngY4unjn4

Returned URL should stream properly in browser.

ANY help is appreciated.

Could you explain what's the exact problem? Can you download the video from the same server?

If you are trying to download/stream the url you get on AWS in your computer, that may not work (YouTube locks the url to a specific ip).

[ayushhgoyal]

Oh I didn't know about ip-locking by youtube. Thanks.
Then how are we supposed to download/stream url on requesting device? It will be always be locked to AWS ip.

[jaimeMF]

youtube-dl only extracts url valid for the computer running it (as your browser would do), so you'll need to download the videos on you server and download from it.

[ayushhgoyal]

Alright, thank you.

Note that this depends on the service in question. There are numerous services where a URL extracted from one computer just happens to work from another computer as well (until recently, even YouTube fell into this category when the initial request came via IPv6).

[ayushhgoyal]

We are concerned about youtube only. Now I can understand why some URLs worked some didn't.
