  I appreciate the effort. Google has killed off most invideous instances so I only know of a few instances. I did not know about that one so I was happy to try it. But it gives a broken CAPTCHA. Took like 5 min to apparently do a proof of work problem, which in the end finally gave an “error, try again”. Had to switch to hCAPTCHA. After repeated enabling of a shit-ton of nested JavaScript, I was able to pass the hCAPTCHA. Then I could only watch the video, not save it. And there was no audio.

  Using yt-dlp yields: “ERROR: [generic] None: Unable to download webpage: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused> (caused by URLError(ConnectionRefusedError(111, ‘Connection refused’)))”

  I was trying to work out whether he came up with a torque sensor. With no audio, I can only guess. But there were some moments where he has his feet off the pedals and the motor is still cranking. Not sure if that means there is no torque sensor, a demo of a faulty torque sensor, or if he was testing a manual torque-sensor override mode.

    Hm, the captcha worked on my end without issue and I was able to watch with audio.

    I tested it just now with Freetube instead (should be available in most linux repositories), and that appears to work well for me without any captcha. Hopefully it should allow you to watch it without as many issues.

    I don’t see a way to download the video from within Freetube. I suppose a much more inconvenient but guarenteed method of capturing the video would be to capture it live by recording the video portion of your screen in OBS.

    No that was just about issues with a mechanical clutch bearing.

      So there is a torque sensor?

        No, why do you think so?
