I have the same problem:

2010-06-20 12:13:49,206 19779 x.x.214.15 klv-asQ92a0 ALTERNATE_URL_OPEN_ERR YOUTUBE HTTP ERROR : 403 : An error occured while retrieving the alternate video id. http://www.youtube.com/get_video?asv=3&el=detailpage&video_id=klv-asQ92a...

Somebody suggested setting up multiple IPs and round-robin but I don't know how to do it. Any other suggestions please?

I have a similar problem. After I added the localhost to proxy= statement I get the problem a lot less. My line reads:

proxy = http://127.0.0.1:3128/

However I am still getting the problem albeit less frequently. So now I am trying another solution from here in the forum, namely round-robin on multiple IPs. First I used Webmin to add another public IP to my squid box. Now I am researching balance_on_multiple_ip and tcp_outgoing_request and X-Forwarded-For but I am getting nowhere. Please assist.

My videos are not being cached due to error:

2010-11-19 10:10:48,857 24504 172.16.100.138 IRlMSWUbX0s DOWNLOAD_HTTP_ERR YOUTUBE HTTP ERROR : 204 : An error occured while retrieving the video. http://www.youtube.com/get_video?tmi=1&video_id=IRlMSWUbX0s&el=detailpag...

It was working fine for a while. But, now I added another dsl line and have a tplink load balancer that mixes up the two and outputs to one ip which is my default gw for our network gw.

How can I setup squid to run on multiple ips eventhough is really running on one external ip. Please guide me to where I can fix this problem.

Thanks in advanced for your help.

I am having problems as well with the 204 error:

2010-11-20 12:19:49,354 7319 172.16.100.138 AVEWRMbGYww DOWNLOAD_HTTP_ERR YOUTUBE HTTP ERROR : 204 : An error occured while retrieving the video. http://www.youtube.com/get_video?t=vjVQa1PpcFOR8d5vIa5a-YxOOAeCPKvkOv8p_...

I have 3 dsl lines connected to a load balance, the load balance is connected to our gw. Videos are not getting cached. Please guide me to where I can find a solution to that problem.

Thanks in advanced for you help.

Hi!

HTTP 204 status means server didn't reply with any content at all. Is it occurring with only a few videos or all of them?

Thanks!
