  • Put an x into all the boxes [ ] relevant to your issue (like this: [x])
  • Use the Preview tab to see what your issue will actually look like

Make sure you are using the latest version: run youtube-dl --version and ensure your version is 2018.11.18. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.

  • [ x] I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.11.18

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

  • [ x] At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
  • [ x] Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
  • [ x] Checked that provided video/audio/playlist URLs (if any) are alive and playable in a browser

What is the purpose of your issue?

  • [ x] Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)
  • Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)
  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)
  • Question
  • Other

The following sections concretize particular purposed issues, you can erase any section (the contents between triple ---) not applicable to your issue


If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:

Add the -v flag to your command line you run youtube-dl with (youtube-dl -v <your command line>), copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):

### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information

Explanation of your *issue* in arbitrary form goes here. Please make sure the [description is worded well enough to be understood](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#is-the-description-of-the-issue-itself-sufficient). Provide as much context and examples as possible.
If work on your *issue* requires account credentials please provide them or explain how one can obtain them.

I've been using youtube-dl without issue for months, but suddenly it fails to download from xHamster about half the time. I haven't been able to identify any particular trend regarding which videos download and which don't, but I'm experiencing the same issue on both my Mac (see above) and my Windows 10 PC. I've verified that the videos in question play without issue on the site.

My apologies! That's bizarre. I played the video without issue 2 hours ago, then was unable to download it. Reloaded the page just now and got the same deleted message you did.

Nope. Still happening with different videos. Got error message, then verified that it plays properly in browser. Windows and Mac.
