Exception: Failed to read video ID from data
I found that replacing
if 'video_hashed_id' in s and s['video_hashed_id']:
video_id = s['video_hashed_id'].split(':')[1]
with
if 'video_hashed_id' in s and s['video_hashed_id']:
video_id = s['video_hashed_id'].split(':')[1]
elif 'video_thumbnail_url' in s and s['video_thumbnail_url']:
video_id = s['video_thumbnail_url'].split('/')[6]
in download.py did the trick which is a simple fix, if the video_hashed_id is empty, use the id from the thumbnail :P

thank you. this worked perfectly.
Please make a pull request so that the dev (hopefully) merge it.
I found that the code change above definitely helped, but about halfway through downloading videos it errors with the following message:

Any ideas?

I tried this but I'm getting an "IndentationError: expected an indented block". I'm a python noob lol so I'm not sure what's wrong.
Edit:
Tried re-pasting it.
raise Exception('Failed to fetch video meta')
Exception: Failed to fetch video meta
Now I'm getting that error.
Edit2:
I was able to make it work by renewing the cookie but it seems I have to this often since the cookie doesn't last like it used to.

That worked for me! Thanks

Thanks @leuldereje, clearing my cache and re-generating the cookie worked. However, as @secretmove mentioned in his comment, it looks like I have to generate a new cookie after each completed download for the next download to work.
I fetched another cookie and the problem was solved for me

I'm new to this, how do I replace the code?
