What kind of FLV url does it give you? Same as mine?

Just trying to figure out if the problem comes from the URL...
Else it means that it comes from the download, I'll have to figure out why it creates a 0kb file in the video folder and then directly try to convert it as if it was completed..!

For some reason your server is grabbing it from the cache of youtube & not the main url.

i bolded the cache part...

The url seems to work...
Could you send me the FLV URL you get from the same youtube video?

For most part same one just different cache link..

If you look at the source, you will that it will be the same thing or very similiar.

look for img.src and you will see something like this.

Code:

img.src = "http:\/\/o-o.preferred.ord12s06.v22.lscache8.c.youtube.com\/generate_204?sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Csource%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Ccp\u0026fexp=913528\u0026algorithm=throttle-factor\u0026itag=34\u0026ip=66.0.0.0\u0026burst=40\u0026sver=3\u0026signature=18FBDA9A65641990622D4AF4B2260F7AC029FE0E.5A4F885F9D917F8B6483E0A3E5477A0D9A5AD80A\u0026source=youtube\u0026expire=1330307416\u0026key=yt1\u0026ipbits=8\u0026factor=1.25\u0026cp=U0hSRVNLVV9GUENOMl9LRVlFOjZZbHZ3N0tOTDZH\u0026id=768db7b137b87610";

Yes I saw that it's very similar in the source of the YouTube page,
so why are you saying that my problem may be that my server grab the cache URL and not the main url? It seems that youtube itself takes the cache, so I guess this is actually the main url. Don't know if I'm clear enough here hehe.

If my link is good, I really don't see where my issue come from then...

orditeck, I tried to convert your video. The first time, it said there was an error downloading the video. The second time --- well it's still downloading at the moment (so it is downloading, but VERY slowly).

I converted another video and it worked fine.

My best guess is that YouTube is currently experiencing some server difficulties or perhaps is changing parts of their site's front end.

I do know that YouTube has been making some changes with their channel layouts recently, so it wouldn't surprise me if we are in for another format change site-wide. In that case, I'll have to make some changes to the code to adjust. Keep me posted.

Hi,

thanks for your answer.
The problem appears with every video I tried.
I tried the same videos on some live URL people gave here and it was working...

You can also try my demo if you want: http://188.165.33.43/yt/index.php
There is just no download. It creates an emply .flv and try to convert it, that's it.

Log shows:

Edit:
I've just got this video downloaded by the server:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-rm8...eature=related
in LOW mode.

But I'm still getting the " Unknown format " in the LOG.

If you are having problems with people abandoning conversions, my suggestion to you is to run a cron job periodically that purges both the '/logs/' and '/videos/' directories. You can check the 'last modified' dates of each of the files in those directories to verify that the files are older than a certain date, and therefore OK to delete.

That will get rid of the files. If you are looking to stop the downloads midstream to save bandwidth, then that's a different problem. Offhand, I don't know how that would be accomplished. You'd have to find a way to stop the cURL process at any time, and not just after a certain period or when the connection times out, i.e.:

PHP Code:


			
curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT, 5);

curl_setopt($ci, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 5);

Maybe you are missing a video codec. That shouldn't be an issue with XAMPP or Windows OS, but maybe with a Linux system.

BTW, I was able to convert your original video successfully - albeit slowly.

But the actual problem is...
why me server isn't loading the .FLV?

It creates a 0kb file instead of downloading it.

Sounds like a cURL problem.

Yes, I installed the script on another server and it works well.
I will update cURL and PHP, will probably work after that.

Thanks.

Make sure you have latest php 5.3.10 or whatever is latst version for your distro.

I had same problem, slower than slow, it took about 3 - 5 min for any of my servers to download it and they are all on 1 gig ports.

PS: I custom compile all my stuff, i do not use the distros releases.
