ipv6 issue and configuration about youtube-downloader HOT 4 CLOSED

Note that the ipv6 versus ipv4 is not the only reason you might get errors from the resulting googlevideo.com url.

That said, the urls I get do usually have my ipv6 address in them, like:
http://r6---sn-p5qlsn7s.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?initcwndbps=3887000&ipbits=0&mm=31&fexp=900233&id=o-APyyqIcoIBHtN53kXjhF0Tb0Dm-N9s9_49IBI3w5god0&key=yt5&source=youtube&mv=m&ms=au&ip=2600:3c03::e03c:91fe:fe70:f2d0&mt=1410097771&signature=CBD7363B1793F228B2F31F06F4981A922FB6EE4F.7C5A1E8B2743C20BF85ABFC71BEBDFD56EB5D920&gcr=us&itag=36&upn=8uV6fboK14g&expire=1410119401&sparams=gcr,id,initcwndbps,ip,ipbits,itag,mm,ms,mv,source,upn,expire&sver=3&signature=

(I cut some stuff from that url, but not the ip=2600:3c03::e03c:91fe:fe70:f2d0 bit is the key).

The question isn't getting the http server to use ipv6, but whether or not curl on your server can reach google via ipv6, and will use that path over the ipv4 path (as I understand it).

See lines 14-15 of curl.php:
/* if you want to force to ipv6, uncomment the following line */
//curl_setopt( $ch , CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE , 'CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE_V6');

Try uncommenting that curl_setopt line - removing the // from the beginning, so that it reads:

curl_setopt( $ch , CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE , 'CURLOPT_IPRESOLVE_V6');

and see if that helps - that should force curl to use the ipv6 version of the url.

ok thank you.

the problem occurs only to some users of my website, and not for me. I share the same internet connection as my server. i was not able to reproduce on my computer the blank screen that some visitors had on my website.

One of the visitors gave me the url of his white screen browser's window.

the ip on it is strange : &ip=2a01%3Ae35%3A2ea2%3A9660%3A80f2%3A9adc%3A3c82%3A8181

the entire url:
http://r11---sn-25ge7ne6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?sver=3&nh=IgpwcjAxLnBhcjAxKhkyMDAxOjQ4NjA6MToxOjA6MTkzNTowOjE4&upn=qn2GdyUX0Ic&ratebypass=yes&ipbits=0&ip=2a01%3Ae35%3A2ea2%3A9660%3A80f2%3A9adc%3A3c82%3A8181&key=yt5&itag=22&mm=31&source=youtube&ms=au&fexp=902534%2C908581%2C927622%2C931983%2C932404%2C932623%2C934024%2C934030%2C937429%2C941457%2C944312%2C946013%2C953801&mv=m&initcwndbps=705000&mt=1410079721&sparams=id%2Cinitcwndbps%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Cmm%2Cms%2Cmv%2Cnh%2Cratebypass%2Csource%2Cupn%2Cexpire&id=o-AMCH0kcxDhVxy3FbKwIkqJoDE9ap1kJUP_VCJtsBwRHg&expire=1410101373&signature&title=Cinematic--Gothic-Storm---All-Is-Not-Lost

i've made the change on curl.php and i will see if this problem still happens.

Thank you very much!

That's a urlencoded version of your ipv6 ip: ip=2a01:e35:2ea2:9660:80f2:9adc:3c82:8181

My guess is that if others are getting errors it is either because they are trying to download videos not available in their region or video ids that are somehow encrypted.

In other words, I don't think it is the ipv6 issue since it looks to me like yours is ipv6
