Yt-dlp ERROR <urlopen error time out>

[Josh]

Hello everyone,

First of all thanks to all the community for the help, I'm newbie.

Looking at several posts I am using yt-dlp to download some videos to watch them offline.

I use The stream detector to get the download command but I have several errors and the download is usually cut off.

Could someone suggest me some parameter to avoid the following errors?

ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
And
ERROR: unable to download video data: <urlopen error timed out>

This is one of the videos I am trying to download

yt-dlp --no-part --restrict-filenames --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0" --referer "https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/embed/8868/3f36add0-a7d9-463d-889d-0a09b42d0070?autoplay=false" "https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/3f36add0-a7d9-463d-889d-0a09b42d0070/1280x720/video.drm?contextId=2ed362ff-4986-45a4-ab26-a1fbafc1bf1d"


Thank you very much in advance

Url?

[lomero]

or maybe need VPN to download.
VPN for all system, not only for browser

Is from a private website which needs log in.

I can start to download the videos but very often the download cut off and I need to start again or resume

[lomero]

if you do not write here the video link and login data how can you think on us help??

[Josh]

Sorry I can`t post the user and pass login

I didn't know you need the original URL, sorry

I want to know if someone had the same or similar situation and can advise me how to fix it. As I said before I can download the video, but the download often cut off and I have to resume it manually.

Any idea how to modify the yt-dlp command to retry again automatically? I tried some options like -r but didn't work

Excuse me, I'm newbie

This usually means you need Headers, 99% of the time the referer.

But as Lomero said: without the mother url or the page you are looking at where the VOD resides it is impossible to assist you.

I tried some options like -r but didn't work

Excuse me, I'm newbie

-r is rate limit

Being a newbie is no excuse for not reading yt-dlp docs
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

You can pick up where you left off with yt-dlp using the continue command

yt-dlp -c "mpd-url"

Use youtube-dl instead

You cant if its WV - but as we have next to zero info we cant really advise at all........

yt-dlp --no-part --restrict-filenames --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:95.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/95.0" --referer "https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/embed/8868/3f36add0-a7d9-463d-889d-0a09b42d0070?autoplay=false" "https://iframe.mediadelivery.net/3f36add0-a7d9-463d-889d-0a09b42d0070/1280x720/video.drm?contextId=2ed362ff-4986-45a4-ab26-a1fbafc1bf1d"

[lomero]

replace --no-part --restrict-filenames with --allow-u
and add a fresh mpd
