Cannot download videos with YouTube-dl even AFTER Update.

[decoder]

Every time I attempt to download videos that require a cable provider login, I get this error message below:

ERROR: Could not find XML element's text headline; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I tried the following formats:

youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl --verbose
youtube-dl -F url
youtube-dl url --ap-mso=Comcast_SSO --ap-username=USERNAME --ap-password=PASSWORD

I tried: cleaning my cache, TVDownloader, reconnecting to the Internet, restarting my computer.

I need help to download these videos:

Comcast MSO login has been broken since last year. You will have to wait until someone codes the fix.

Post an issue on the official youtube-dl github page and ask if it can be fixed, be sure to include your log.


Some sites that require cable provider login may work with --cookies. Login with you browser and extract the cookie. Then pass the cookie text file to youtube-dl. Full instructions are in the documentation section on the official youtube-dl github page.

I tried this method today and it doesn't work unfortunately.

I typed the following and received the same exact error message listed above.

youtube-dl --cookies D:\folder\cookies.txt http://www.adultswim.com/videos/joe-pera-talks-with-you/joe-pera-shows-you-iron

Another error message I received was:

[AdultSwim] joe-pera-shows-you-iron: Downloading webpage
[AdultSwim] AWNfUf_ZHAeP4-pUPfOc: Downloading XML
ERROR: Unable to download XML: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Did anyone find a fix yet? It seems that a lot of people are having issues with certain sites and providers.

I'm still having no luck. YouTube-DL and TVDownloader still don't work with Comcast cable authorization login. Does anyone have Comcast and use YouTube-DL?

With the exception of the most recent, all of the episodes of joe-pera-talks-with-you are now available without provider authorization.

For the one that requires authorization, it looks like you'll have to do it manually. It doesn't look like a provider authorization fix for youtube-dl is just around the bend.

I already got started on those episodes without the cable authorization. I know how to download videos with Youtube-dl using proper formatting, but the application bug won't let me download them successfully. The videos still use SAMPLE-AES encryption methods.

When youtube-dl does work with provider authentication on adultswim, it does not download the sample-aes version of the video.

There are other profiles to download, and youtube-dl uses one of those. When downloading manually (because your provider auth doesn't work), you need to request the video like youtube-dl does.

I'm still not sure what you mean by "downloading manually."

When I use the "youtube-dl -F url" command to get a list of video profiles, I'll get messages such as, "ERROR: Could not find XML element's text headline; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output."

What are the steps for manual download?
