We replace the youtube-dl file by a middleman.
Change your config.ini to point at the new file youtube-dl2.

INI:

YoutubeDLPath2 = "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl" YoutubeDLPath = "./youtube-dl2"

(I left the original line there too so I dont forget about it when i want to disable this workaround. But you can remove the first line if you want.)

Create the file youtube-dl2 in the same folder:

Bash:

#!/bin/bash youtube-dl ${@/bestaudio/43}

Ans use

Bash:

chmod +x youtube-dl2

to make it executable.

That file replaces the -f bestaudio flag for the download to -f 43. Format 43 seems to be the .webm format which is not throttled by youtube.

Hope it helps anyone.

edit: It does not seem to work for every video as some are not available in format 43 but it worked most of the time for me now...

You are the hero we need but don't deserve, thank you very much

Do you know why Sinusbot still say that it doesn't find youtube-dl ??

(With the youtube-dl2 tips)

Please post your config.ini.

Did sinusbot give you the same error before adding my fix? Then i guess you dont have youtube-dl installed correctly. Try to find the correct path to it if it's not /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Config.ini

Bash:

TS3Path = "/opt/sinusbot/TeamSpeak3-Client-linux_amd64/ts3client_linux_amd64"

ListenPort = 8087
LocalPlayback = false
EnableLocalFS = false
MaxBulkOperations = 300
LogLevel = 3
EnableProfiler = false
YoutubeDLPath2 = "/opt/sinusbot/youtube-dl"
YoutubeDLPath = "/opt/sinusbot/youtube-dl2"

And before it's worked

From the top;

Step 1) Navigate to your Sinusbot Dir "/opt/sinusbot/"
Step 2) Create a new file in your Sinusbot dir "youtube-dl2"
Step 3) Put this in the file you just created;

Code:

#!/bin/bash
youtube-dl ${@/bestaudio/43}

Step 4) Change your current line "YoutubeDLPath = "/opt/sinusbot/youtube-dl" to "YoutubeDLPath2 = "/opt/sinusbot/youtube-dl" in config.ini - so that you don't forget it later.
Step 5) Add line YoutubeDLPath = "./youtube-dl2" to config.ini
Step 6) Restart your bot service sinusbot restart

Could you explain better how to do this on windows?

No i can't, sorry. I dont use Windows at all. I should have clarified that it's just for linux.
The principle should be the same. It should be possible to create an executable file (maybe even a .bat file) and let it redirect to the real youtube-dl.
I'd be thankful if anyone else can post how to do the same on windows if they know how.

I did that step by step and now my bot is not even playing the songs. Before of that it was taking like 1 minute to play but now is not even working.
Can you help me?

Any windows users please help.

As promised I looked into this and here's an interim version for linux that handles external programs like ytdl completely different and might solve the issues without needing an updated ytdl. Please be aware that this is a rather experimental release - should you have any issues with it, please let me know.

Also beware that you might need to revert any changes to your system you already did to fix the issue yourself (like the proposed workarounds).

xuninho · Jan 27, 2018

For WINDOWS users please.

I read your post, but my update is only for Linux right now. WINDOWS will follow, IF that update works fine for the Linux users.

Do you have any Errors you can paste? And are you using Linux?

Please try to run this. It looks like the script you created does not execute correclty.

Code:

./youtube-dl2 -f bestaudio --o /home/sinusbot/ts3soundboard/data/tmp/316657a37d6cc5578516299f1e488dcd --restrict-filenames --max-downloads 1 --max-filesize 419430400 --rate-limit 104857600 --no-playlist --write-info-json --write-thumbnail --no-call-home oHg5SJYRHA0
