Node-ytdl-core: Get a lot of 416 "Range Not Satisfiable" Errors with the update to 4.0.4

[mh4ck]

Hi,

after i updated to version 4.0.4 i directly got a lot of Status code 416 errors - after rolling back to 4.0.3 everything is working fine again.

My highWaterMark is set to 810241024 so 8MB. Making it higher or lower haven't fixed this issue.

I am having the same issue, seems to happen randomly.

[BlazeIsClone]

yup im having some major errors as well.

Looks like #751 regressed too, I am algo getting Unable to retrieve video metadata along with HTTP 416, but more frequently than in 4.0.2

[fent]

any specific videos or formats this happens in? what options are you using?

[modscleo4]

It seems to be random
I tested my bot with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgezo5I3waM, but I got 416 and "Unable to retrieve video metadata" with https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CBp4qylX6I too

my YTDL options are

filter: 'audioonly',
highWaterMark: 1 << 25,
quality: 'highestaudio',
requestOptions: {
    headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${ytapikey}`,
    }
},

Looks like this was fixed in 4.0.5

Updated to 4.0.5 and the problem occurs for every video I'm trying to download.
I'm using options

    quality: 'lowestaudio',
    audioFormat: 'mp3',
    filter: 'audioonly',

I get lots of errors on 4.0.5 aswell. Getting lots of Error: input stream: Video unavailable

[chaos87]

I had to downgrade to 3.4.2 to get rid of those errors 416. Tried many combinations of filter/quality by following the README, but either I got "Output format is not available" or error 416.
I will upgrade once this bug is fixed.

I recommended to use 4.0.3. Almost errors will not be occurred with a valid cookies.

I ran into the same problems on one of my servers, consistently, it seems like only music videos are affected, such as https://youtube.com/watch?v=jJPMnTXl63E, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlPhMPnQ58k, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJO3ROT-A4E, on another server, I got Error: input stream: Video unavailable instead of this

i wasn't able to reproduce this myself, but for those getting it, try updating to the latest version 4.0.6, which includes some fixes to requests, and see if it fixes it

[modscleo4]

I didn't get 416 anymore, but when using a lower highWaterMark, the Discord bot randomly skips some parts of the video (and no error in STDERR)

It seems to be fixed on 4.0.6.

[chaos87]

Yes I confirm, after trying a bunch of videos that I'm not getting the 416 errors anymore after upgrading to 4.0.6
