I’m getting IP-banned using yt-dlp. It seems that this is a known issue. Have any of you run into this, and if so, what has been your solution?
I currently use a VPN via a VPS. I am able to view youtube via the web client and use youtube-dl without VPN, but I am only unable to get through using the CLI on the VPN. I have also tried fiddling with some CLI args (like --extractor-args "youtube:player_client=web"
) but that is also unsuccessful.
My next step is to try signing up for mullvad to see if I can get around it that way, but would like to hear if this is affecting existing mullvad users.
Open to hearing other solutions as well. Thanks!
Thanks, I’m using yt-dlp too. I was a bit sloppy while writing the post and updated it to make it clear that I’m also using
yt-dlp
