@wallhackio Doesn't work :(
$ mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GL0fXST1w_U
[ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] GL0fXST1w_U: This video is not available
[ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred
Failed to recognize file format.
Exiting... (Errors when loading file)
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio wonder if you need to update yt-dlp? maybe youtube kids fucks up downloaders?
$ yt-dlp -U
Latest version: stable@2026.03.17 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp
yt-dlp is up to date (stable@2026.03.17 from yt-dlp/yt-dlp)
@vaporeon_ @aescling yt-dlp runs deno now to download yt videos which is probably the issue
@wallhackio @aescling A few days ago, I was able to watch YouTube videos without any Deno
@vaporeon_ @wallhackio @aescling youtube can probably detect it and block it regularly
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio caleb and i nearly took down the server by both trying to upload this video to GlitchCat at the same time lmao
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio two instances of ffmpeg at the same time used up well over 1GB of ram and consumed all the RAM the server had remaining
@onfy @vaporeon_ @wallhackio yeah i remember exa posting about getting tired of mastodon's terrible transcode quality lmao
@aescling @vaporeon_ @wallhackio a lot of mastodon is terrible and well, xey were the ones who taught me ffmpeg to begin with
@aescling @vaporeon_ @wallhackio i think sleeping town just spits out the video as is
