Too many or few errors?

Can you please help me resolve this

Did you run with default parameters, I mean did you changed anything in code?

Did you upload the video to youtube and download, or just encode and decode?

[Deepesh9620]

I didn't change any code.
I encoded the file, uploaded it to youtube waited for the processing and pasted the link in the command.

You can try downloading the video with another tool (there are many tools for downloading videos from YouTube).

Then, try decoding the downloaded video. I am not sure if this will make any difference.

It is likely that YouTube's video compression creates more errors than Reed-Solomon can fix.

If you lose any data, sorry for that. I didn't expect that to happen. I should add a warning to the readme.

The best I can do is add an option for creating a file even if errors exist. This will create the corrupted file, and maybe you can recover some data from it.

If you have the original generated video file, can you try to decode it without uploading it to YouTube?

No data was lost I didn't delete the original file was just testing of this script. Thanks

Thanks for reporting. I added a warning to README.

If you want to try, you can increase the global_reedEC value in common.py that should be reduce the risk of corruption. Same values must be used for encoding and decoding.
