Description

Hi.
Sometimes I read this log from spotdl:

INFO: Skipping "bla bla bla bla.mp3"
ERROR: This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.
WARNING: Failed to download song. Will retry after other songs

ERROR: This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.
WARNING: Failed to download song. Will retry after other songs

and spend a lot of time repeating this loop...
How can I do that in such cases, just give the warning and go to the next song or end the list?
Thanks

@Pepetops I would like to recreate this problem to see if I can fix it. What was the Spotify/YouTube URL that caused this problem? Also, what country are you in?

[Pepetops]

This is the list that I use most frequently and the error has appeared in any of them..
Today, precisely, there has not been any type of error.
I live in Spain and I am a premium user of Spotify

[Pepetops]

how about using youtube-dl option --geo-bypass?

[Pepetops]

Sorry for repeating this but there are anyway to pass options to youtube.tools library?

[ritiek]

Hey, I'm really sorry I haven't been much on this issue.

I tried out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8G2cGIA0Wo, but it seems like even youtube-dl can't download it with --geo-bypass for the message now is:

This video contains content from Create Music Group, Inc., who has blocked it on copyright grounds.

which mentions nothing about whether the content is blocked globally or for some specific countries (I think we're safe to assume it being blocked globally here).

I'll check out some more YouTube videos and hope to find one that gives:

This video contains content from UMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

so I can check out whether --geo-bypass helps us out and push an appropriate patch.

EDIT: I haven't stumbled across any yet. If anyone reading this recalls such a blocked video, I'd be glad if you could share it here (any country, don't worry, I might find a VPN).

Hello,

For the following video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GPZ16SewZL4

I get the following message:

"This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.

I'm in Spain.
I tried:
youtube-dl.exe GPZ16SewZL4 --geo-bypass
youtube-dl.exe GPZ16SewZL4 --geo-bypass-country GB
youtube-dl.exe GPZ16SewZL4 --geo-verification-proxy 78.32.35.22
and got the same error message in all cases.

Any idea?

[ritiek]

@aromot Yep, I seem to get the same message as well even when passing --geo-bypass.

No support for v2. If the issue persists on v3, open a new issue.

I know it's late, just clearing out old issues.
