Another way to solve DOWNLOAD_ERR YOUTUBE An error occured while retrieving the video
Printer-friendly versionSend to friend

Hi all,

I found another way to solve this error message problem "DOWNLOAD_ERR YOUTUBE An error occured while retrieving the video"

My problem solved in videocache 1.9. After i change cache_host and proxy in /etc/videocache.conf file to use my proxy interface next in squid.conf we must add access list to allow ip address 10.0.99.2

and my problem solved

example :

in /etc/videocache.conf

cache_host 10.0.99.2
proxy http://10.0.99.2:3128/

in /usr/local/squid/etc/squid.conf

acl LAN_1 src 10.0.99.2/255.255.255.255
http_access allow LAN_1

Regards,

May this help us

Hello!

This is correct. videocache downloading for caching the video needs squid access:

http://www.bellera.cat/josep/videocache/#squid

DOWNLOAD_ERR YOUTUBE appears also if videocache tries to download an expired 'temporary' video from googlevideo.com and related:
