I'm writing a bookmarking tool to create playlists of online video which can be played from local media players.

For Youtube videos I am extracting the actual video URLs using Youtube-dl running on a server which get passed to the media player.

This works great running in a local development environment but when the URL is extracted from the production server (running on EC2), I get a 403 error. (BTW, as per issue #41 I'm passing the cookie to the media player which works fine.)

Could it be an issue that the URL is being extracted and then used on machines running in different networks?
