Hi Gurkirt,

Thanks for putting this together.

Have you noticed any recent issues with youtbe-dl?
someone reported that Youtube is blocking the mass downloading of videos.

Cheers,
Víctor

Hi Escorciav,

I don't think so, I had about 516K videos from the past and I was able to download additional 315K videos.

Another issue I got was the version of FFmpeg, I think default version of FFmpeg is 4.0 but that doesn't work in our case, using FFmpeg 3.1.3 from menpo works.

Cheers
Gurkirt

Also, my environment is different than yours. Because that didn't work with the latest anaconda 3.7.

I see 👍
What about the version of youtbe-dl?

[gurkirt]

I think the latest.
youtube-dl --version prints out 2019.08.13
I used pip install --upgrade youtube-dl to install it.
