Discussion How to download Crunchyroll and what you need...

tectpro said:
I tested the provided config.txt that you posted earlier and didn't get that error.


Can you please post the text you have in the batch file that holds the menu?
Click to expand...
I have tested everything, mobile hotspot etc. I always get this error. I don't use cloudfare. I have allowed all cookies. Episode loaded in the browser. Download not possible.
 
Cloudflare is on Crunchyroll's side for verification purposes, not on your machine.

The config.txt text you provided is ok. I tested it on my side, and there are no errors when tested with Firefox cookies.

That is why I am asking for the menu text because nothing should be changed there except the "MY_USER_AGENT" to "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0" in this case.

Always the same error
 
Is it possible, that there is another config file in the folder?
Can you please show a screenshot of the folder contents where the script is located?
 
Are you located in the same country as the Crunchyroll content you are trying to download?
Or are you using a VPN?

I don't use a VPN, I can stream the entire content in the app and in the browser.

I'm quite at a loss here ... the error is pointing to something wrong with your config, but tectpro tested it fine... :unsure:

The problem is that if there is a VPN it might work in the app and browser but can cause issues in yt-dlp.

Please open a command line terminal in the folder in which you have your yt-dlp.exe located and run this line:
yt-dlp.exe --version
Please post a screenshot of the result.

Ok. I was able to replicate the error even with the latest nightly.

Two scenarios trigger the issue:
1. The user agent browser is a mismatch.

2. When determining the subtitle languages, Cloudflare pops up—checking if that is a setting.

Downloads are not affected.

Ok, there is a newer version available in the nightly section.
With that one, I do not get that error for determining the subtitles.

Close Firefox.
Update to the latest nightly, use the command line terminal that is open in the folder where yt-dlp.exe is and run this command
yt-dlp.exe --update-to nightly
After that run command
yt-dlp --rm-cache-dir to clear the yt-dlp cache.
Go to firefox play the episode and try again.
Try the command line to determine the subtitles again
yt-dlp.exe --verbose --no-check-certificate --no-geo-bypass --list-subs --list-formats --extractor-args crunchyrollbeta:hardsub=all --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:121.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/121.0" --cookies-from-browser firefox https://www.crunchyroll.com/de/watch/GRVDQ1G4R/the-land-of-wano-to-the-samurai-country-where-cherry-blossoms-flutter

If this doesn't work, you will need to check if there is an ongoing issue or open an issue on the GitHub side of yt-dlp.

Same mistake. It's best to wait for crunchyroll in anystream. I doubt this will be solved on github
 
Here is my stuff, using yt-dlp 2023.11.16. Haven't updated it to the newest version after using it last time.
If this post has no attachement, the file is too big for the forum and I will post a link shortly.
