by Tristram on 2 Apr 2010

After cleaning out the system of 1.9.2 and ending up reloading the OS I'm sitll having problems with 1.9.3 not downloading youtube at all. I Have tested with a metacafe video and that works fine

Here is a dump of my log file

Hi!

Thanks for reporting. Actually the acls were wrong (my bad). Please use the new acls from installation page and restart squid process. That'll resume youtube caching.

Thank you!

Hi!

It must be a temporary problem. Here my videocache deployment is able to cache it successfully.

Thank You!

Is this just going to be another change to the squid ACL's or will be a full update to 1.9.4?

It would be nice to have an eta for a fix aswell if your willing to give one

hi kulbir,

i updated the ACLs lastnight and came to know this morning that only few youtube videos are cached or downloaded(as seen in the log "DOWNLOAD YOUTUBE 23405646 Video was downloaded and cached") and there are also videos that are not cached (as seen also in the log " DOWNLOAD_ERR YOUTUBE An error occured while retrieving the video")just like lastnight after the ACL updates. But, past 12nn i found out that no more videos are downloaded and i cant even see that there are download misses in the log file.

those videos that are not downloaded or cached, i investigated them. i tried retrieving them using a real player directly on the youtube web, they cant be downloaded. while those others that are downloaded using realplayers, they are downloaded or cached successfully. that was early this morning. but, past 12nn when i noticed that no videos are downloaded anymore, i cant download everything from youtube using realplayer.:(

there are 60 DOWNLOAD_ERRs and 320 DOWNLOAD YOUTUBEs in my log file, from 11p last night until 12nn today.

what could the problem? i mean, i followed everything. rechecked my server setup etc.

please help.

thanks!
