Perpetual timeouts and errors

[GregFdz]

Hi,
I've been using Yt-local for a while and everything was smooth. But, a few weeks ago, it started to deteriorate gradually. It began with the video crashing in the middle of playing it and I wasn't able to make it work otherwise than by reloading the page. Then it got worse by doing just that and then throwing errors when I would reload. Now, most of the time, yt-local doesn't even load and I get a timeout from my browser when I try to load a page. I didn't make any significant change to my windows os, I don't often use my PC. This is really strange...

The error :

Failed to establish a connection.

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='consent.youtube.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /m?continue=https%3A%2F%2Fm.youtube.com%2Fembed%2FlYvMc-tQvkM%3Fbpctr%3D9999999999%26cbrd%3D1&gl=FR&m=1&pc=yt&cm=2&hl=en&src=1 (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000001518AE17BD0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 10048] [WinError 10048] Une seule utilisation de chaque adresse de socket (protocole/adresse réseau/port) est habituellement autorisée.'))

Edit the file youtube/watch.py. After line 417, add this line:

        ('Cookie', 'SOCS=CAI'),

Does this fix the issue for you? Haven't been able to reproduce with european VPN

Also for the other issue "It began with the video crashing in the middle of playing it and I wasn't able to make it work otherwise than by reloading the page." what video resolution were you watching at?
