YouTube made some changes that make things slow
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Describe the bug
A recent change on YouTube's side means that all existing YouTube downloaders including youtube-dl are extremely slow now, meaning it takes the bot a very long time to download new songs from YouTube. I believe this was alluded to in another issue suggesting you change download scripts, however I felt it deserved a dedicated issue.
Affected version
All versions 7.2.1 and older.
To Reproduce
Try to add a new song from YouTube.
Expected behavior
The song downloads in an amount of time befitting of the internet connection provided.
Additional context
I'm not aware of the status of upstream fixes for this issue, however this is worth monitoring for whenever a solution is available.
Should be fix with version 7.2.2
