Slow download rate: Youtube throttling about livestream_saver HOT 9 CLOSED

This should be fixed after half integrating pytube and using their way of computing the signed url token, with commit 67201e6

from livestream_saver.

In ytarchive, this was fixed by using the Android player response, the same strategy that yt-dlp used:

This is not entirely fixed yet. Some live streams appear to be throttled while others are not. Perhaps the signature needs to be applied periodically, which would force us to refresh the download URLs for each stream every now and then. If that is the case, we'll need to figure out that time period somehow.

It has been reported to me that restarting the download process brings back normal download speed to normal for a little while, which corroborates this assumption.

It may indeed be throttling, There was a public livestream earlier today that ended 3 hours ago (started 4h ago).

It is currently 15:50

Edit: at 17:30 critical error, Error 403 Forbidden.
It downloaded 30 minutes of a 1h stream.

Edit 2: I am being throttling with youtube-dl to 60KB's so its most likely the same for livestream-saver. Currently to download an uploaded video I am using aria2c through youtube-dl with a few arguments -j 16 -x 16 -s 16 at least I can get around 1MB/s but I dont think aria2c can be incorporated here.

Yup, I have been experiencing the exact same issue. I don't have a clear solution yet. It's something to investigate further.

from livestream_saver.

@undulum thanks for that link. I will have to work on this and implement the same solution.
I just hope this is the actual definitive solution and that it will last.

from livestream_saver.

The issue should be fixed (for now) in commit dcb62de.

from livestream_saver.

Just a heads up, the current implementation is incomplete, so members-only videos are not accessible, even with cookies loaded. A workaround is to spawn yt-dlp as hook command (and use the --skip-download flag or skip_download = true in the config file).

Remember to use --live-from-start with the latest version of yt-dlp (it can download from the first segment).

Members-only videos should work now, as of d0a06d1.
