Issue with youtube-dl: HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests

Hi all,

So, I’ve recently installed my first instance on a Gentoo server and still learning the ropes. Sadly I’ve apparently triggered a block by Youtube. See the log here https://pastebin.com/t3HhxyT7

Downloading from Vimeo works as expected, so this is definitely a block by Youtube I think. Is there anything I can do about it, besides « wait it out »? I kinda want to import my channel into this new instance :smiley:

Unfortunately no, you’ll have to wait.

In peertube v3 you could try https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/develop/config/production.yaml.example#L304

Thanks for that tip. When setting that flag to ‹ true › I don’t get the same behaviour: I get to the editing screen for the metadata, but when I press to continue, I simply get the feedback that the video actually wasn’t downloaded.

I guess I’ll have to wait. I’ll try again tomorrow :frowning:
