My yt-dlp is running most nights, but I’ve gotta stop… I’m never going to get around to watching everything.

Could you share the Britney Spears??? :)

What? The hash is just a number in a text file. Open the md5 with notepad?

You aren’t very clear… Are you saying it creates the hash, but then verifying fails? I don’t know what you mean by unreadable

Are you saying it fails to make a checksum at all? What program? Try this one: https://github.com/gurnec/HashCheck/releases/tag/v2.4.0

I have a 50MB HDD in my first computer, a 286 Digital VaxMate that still works, from 1989 maybe?

No file, it outputs in with the usually displayed info as it is processing, just adds more

The read and seek error rates appear to be zero. Any errors would be recorded in the top 4 digits. Different manufacturers use the fields differently.

Not sure about command timeout off the top of my head

The ultraDMA CRC actually looks bad on the 1st one I think.

Check some real documentation for seagate though to know what the fields mean

Yt-dlp does pretty much everything. It can do a channels playlists, not sure about a custom saved one, but try feeding it a link to it? Then you can just keep re-running it to download any new additions

Is it the website kicking it off? Can you run with --debug and post what it says when the request fails?

I’ll be back at my computer later and can send over an idea to try. I have a wgetrc file that has gotten around some issues before
