Any idea why this might be happening?.. Vlc 3.0 is able to play them


Thanks, a lot.

DASH is a live streaming protocol so I guess you can't actually download it until the stream is finished.
I just downloaded that video with youtube-dl and it played fine in MPV 0.32.0-2+b1 (thank me later, I don't even speak Spanish). I'm on Sid though, don't have a Stretch to try it on.
I'm sure you'll work it out, bester. You always seem to have unique problems and fortunately a unique ability to solve them.

And thanks to this topic, I got youtube-dl working on my Sid again. It was looking for a non-existent /usr/bin/python so I just had to

Code: Select all

# ln -s /usr/bin/python3 /usr/bin/python

Happy days!

Im glad you fixed youtube-dl..Im also using python's youtube..I made this scritp in past to update youtube and others packages..I use it when i need to update youtube-dl cos it stop working

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install --upgrade youtube_dl
sudo pip3 install --upgrade mps-youtube
sudo pip3 install --upgrade pafy
sudo pip3 install --upgrade dbus-python pygobject
# Repara youtube error con cache
youtube-dl -v --rm-cache-dir

- ok, keep in mind that's the signature of a non organic portal... (unique behavior) , friendly energy like yours also belongs to not organic portals..so you're lucky of not being in their side of darkness


its very strange, Now its playing the vid.. Ok, surelly It has to be with being a recently uploaded movie as you told me, cos its a 4 hours ago vid made... Now, when It happens to me again, I will first check if its a recetly movie to not bothering you.. SORRY!!

I don't even install it, just download the package from Github and copy only the python script to ~/bin/ . Update when necessary can then be done with

Code: Select all

# youtube-dl -U
