Exception in Thread for lengthy YouTube videos

[aspiziri]

I seem to be hitting an issue when downloading lengthy YouTube videos (1.5-2 hours). The download begins fine and will grab a couple hundred MB before hitting an error and exiting. I've tried restarting multiple times and I get the same result each time (though the amount that downloads before the error varies every time - 300MB, 850MB, etc).

Just to extend on this - I also seem to sometimes get the same error/exit from other sites when downloading lengthy content so not just YouTube as I originally reported.

Confirmed to be working fine when directly running youtube-dl installed on the server FYI

I had the same error when running on my Unraid server. Just tried to switch to host network and it is working now.

@aspiziri I changed the way the download worker works now. If you are still using this do you want to try again with the new version?
