[Tech Support]

KVS is using youtube-ld public library to grab video data from site.

 

From the attached log it looks like this youtube grabber stopped working there, they should fix it soon. Make sure you update youtube-dl regularly using this command:

youtube-dl -U

 

Moreover it is recommended to configure this update command on cron, so that it always updated automatically whenever the new version is available.

 

Please note that grabbers are subject to regular issues, because grabbers rely on the original site HTML code and structure, and this code / structure are changed regularly by site owners.

Yes. I updated youtube-dl via root and that resolved it. Thanks.
