Cannot download recently uploaded videos
kibivolt opened this issue · comments
Some recent videos are producing an error when I attempt to download them. I noticed the error while trying to download premium videos starting with "Giant Bombcast 775" (Feb 7, 2023). That video and the next few after it all produced an error and failed to download (UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: HTTPError: Response code 403 (Forbidden)).
There was a recent change to the video URLs which may be related. It looks like videos starting from from Feb 1st onward are at a different domain than the older videos and the URLs for the new videos now include a query string at the end for "exp" and "sig". The output path for the file when it tries to download it includes this query string after the file extension.
Hey! Thanks for the report!
Looks like this happening for regular free video as well when directly downloading from the site. There's a thread over in the Giant Bomb forums we can track — I'll keep this issue open until it's resolved by their API developers.
