    Thanks Michael

     

    Normally player logs (use tail -200 /home/pi/forever_out.log from piShell or ssh to view) indicate the reason. We also do not cache the URL and it is loaded everytime.

     

    Also you could issue the following command to update the program to latest

    sudo -H pip install --upgrade youtube-dl

    I have suddenly started having the same problem. I was able to play Youtube videos a week or so ago and now they aren't playing. I have updated to the latest software. Here are my logs..

    Hi Eric

    We do not cache Youtube content and the following log says Youtube is declining requests.

    Eric,

    Have you found a solution? Our youtube videos were playing yesterday, but now they are not.

    Thanks,

    Matt

    Matt,

    No. According to Ravi, it's on Youtube's side and they have blocked the request. I haven't tried it again since it stopped. You might try playing videos from Vimeo.
