Hello,

How can i see if there is an 402 Payment Required?

$dl = exec("youtube-dl -o "file.flv" "youtubelink");

I do it that way, but we have more than 15k downloads every day... so some times we have 402 Error, but how can i check if youtube-dl gives a 402 Error back?

regards

This is covered in the FAQ: You're being blocked by youtube for excessive downloads and need to solve a CAPTCHA. Would it help if youtube-dl would give you said CAPTCHA to solve and offer to transfer it back to youtube?

@phihag - I'm facing the same problem and I think your solution is viable for my case, how can I do this?

@samrat Discussion of the implementation has been moved to #154. Fixing the issue is planned, but since I don't encounter it personally, I'm neither overly motivated nor able to do so. However, we'd certainly appreciate a git pull request with a graceful handling of CAPTCHAs.
