Using youtube-dl in a for loop, where it shouldn't end the loop, but this error causes the for to break;

Not sure why. Could you add the -g option, for example:

youtube-dl -g -v --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 ;Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0; like Gecko" --restrict-filenames -c -r 20k "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1biIRxTRCS8"

And paste the resultant URLs to browsers?

there are times when connectivity goes down when using this application, but the script is suppose to keep running. For some reason when youtube-dl catches an error instead of just exiting from python, it kills the parent bash script as well. It's almost like a sys.exit is being called when it would be better if a return 1 should be called

[jaimeMF]

The issue is probably in the script, as far as I know sys.exit just closes the python program and returns the given error status, I really doubt it can interfere with the calling script. Please post the script you are using (or the minimim part that reproduces the problem).

I'm closing the issue since we need more info to verify it's an actual youtube-dl issue.
