Hi, I've noticed my api downloader stopped working lately: All the video urls for videos posted since 2023-02-01 return "403 Forbidden". Old videos still work.

An Apple TV App I use is also broken in the same way (old videos work, new don't), I'm guessing for the same reason.

The first video I see with the new failing URLs is id 18314 ("Game Mess Mornings 02/01/23").

The latest video as of this writing (id 18334, "Grubbsy 3D - Part 7") has these urls listed:

"low_url": "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/n931dDvX-My26M3qW.mp4?exp=1676144632&sig=31d9dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxbf004d",
"high_url": "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/n931dDvX-VVlevPs3.mp4?exp=1676144632&sig=0d8f8xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx1d3938",
"hd_url": "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/videos/n931dDvX-jyWFZ7TV.mp4?exp=1676144632&sig=49f7cxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx7b9e6b",

(I've x-ed out part of that sig parameter because I don't know if that's public or unique to my api key).

All of those return 403 errors. Adding my API key to the url parameters has no effect.

The older videos that work are hosted on "https://giantbomb.redvideo.io" as opposed to "https://cdn.jwplayer.com/".

Is this a known issue? Is there any fix in the works?

Thanks,

David

I also noticed the following data issues:

These videos ids are missing their youtube_id (what I think they should be is shown in brackets):

  1. 18331 [xuvoEiBrxs0] - "Grubber Lang's Punch-Out!! 05"
  2. 18328 [m3aM6GY3H64] - "Giant Bombcast 775: Hunter Biden Kaitos [premium]"
  3. 18320 [Y3QoyM0db5U] - "Giant Bomb Presents: Power Bombcast 32: Royal Rumble 2023"

Id 18333 ("Voicemail Dump Truck 56") shows a youtube_id of "PIDSoqmKSI" but that is an invalid youtube id. The correct one appears to be "dI0dI7jSyWY" (which incidentally lists it as "Voicemail Dump Truck 57" instead of 56).

None of those 4 videos play on the site either.

It’s a known issue, unfortunately no ETA out yet for a fix.
