Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have been using youtube-dl to get videos from CWTV (and others) and it's been working very well for the most part. But lately, and just with one computer, CW has been failing miserably. As you can see above, the same command works on one computer but not the other. So it's probably not the fault of youtube-dl by itself, but I'm really out of ideas!

Any thoughts of things I can try? Thanks much.

[dstftw]

It's not the same command. Post the command with the same URL.

[jschwalbe]

Thanks for noticing that! For the record, neither URL had been working on computer 1 for the past few days. I've updated the original post.

Also I highly doubt this is geo restricted, so I'd appreciate removing that label. My two computers are on the same home network (in USA), literally 15 feet away from each other. That's some pretty crazy geo-restriction!

[dstftw]

It's georestricted.

Sorry, this content is not available in your location

[dstftw]

As of the first log you've interrupted ffmpeg by yourself:

ERROR: Interrupted by user
Exiting normally, received signal 2.

Post the log of failure without manual interruption.

[jschwalbe]

Well I have no idea but I repeat the command (copy/pasted exact same) and now it works. I didn't reboot or anything. This has been plaguing me for days. Just needed to post about it. If it happens again I'll report back.

Re: geo-restricted label, my sincere apologies I thought the label was implying that my problem was due to geo-restriction.

Thank you again for your time!!
