IP Address Download Limit

[sizzlingkenny]

Hello there, Great Script I really appreciate the tremendous work you did.
I am only having Issue with IP Address Downloading Limit from YouTube because currently Its Using my Server IP Address.
Is there anyway that I can change it to "Client IP Directly" instead of my server IP, as I have seen on other sites they are using direct client IP to Download YouTube Videos with no Download Speed Limit

thanks

Is the stream option enabled in your config file?
With it, the server downloads both the video webpage and the video file.
Without it, the server downloads the video webpage but then the browser downloads the video file.

With stream: false, the server does not download the video file, only the video webpage. But I guess this could still trigger YouTube's rate limit.

I tried both, False and True but download speed is the same not exceeding 60kb to 70kb which is way too slow
If there's anyway to pass client ip instead of my server ip, that would be great to bypass the download limit

[Rudloff]

Are you sure the slow speed is caused by some IP restriction?
It could a problem similar to #217 (YouTube detecting someone is trying to download a whole video and intentionally slowing the download).

We can't pass an IP address, the IP address YouTube sees if the one used by the device making the request.

I'm not sure to be honest if the IP is the problem, if this is the case (YouTube detecting someone is trying to download a whole video and intentionally slowing the download). then how to fix it?

[Rudloff]

Do you have an example of a video with this problem ? (You did not fill the issue template.)
I tried to reproduce with a random YouTube video but I get a 1.7 Mb/s download speed.
