Thanks! IP limited only in Japan ? But it works well not long ago, and downloading still works. @skeith

Not just Japan, some providers are also being blocked

from showroom.

So I have to change my IP or just ignore the error?

Well ignoring the error won't fix it. You need to either change your IP or use a proxy. skeith knows more about the latter than I do. You do not need a Japanese IP, just one they haven't blocked. I think they've been range-banning some hosting providers due to malicious activity.

If you do use a proxy or VPN, be aware this script generates a lot of traffic throughout the day. Last I checked I think it averaged about 4 GB overhead daily, separate from actual video downloads. I've been meaning to reduce this, but short of connecting to a websocket on their end I'm not sure how.

Also consider using the development branch, not that it will help fix this specific error, but all future updates will be going there.

you don't need to change your current server for the proxy method, you just need a small server with unlimited or large bandwith for the proxy. You might want to explore which server has not been blocked yet, then setup a proxy there.

Thank you for your advice! I have set a proxy on a Japanese server which has not been blocked yet and it has large bandwith. Thanks again for sharing and update this script, it helps me a lot!

glad you sorted it out.

@wlerin I think we can close this issue now
