Error message

This video is not available in your country.

What it means

Raised by TriluliluExtractor when the media JSON's 'errors' map contains a truthy 'geoblock' key: the media is restricted to Romanian IPs. Expected=True; distinct from the friends-only case and the adult (xxx_unlogged) case handled just below.

Solutions

1. Use a Romanian VPN/exit IP and retry
2. Verify the media plays in a browser from Romania
3. In batch jobs, catch this expected error and tag the URL geo-blocked
4. If the whole site is unresponsive, trilulilu may be offline — check the domain first

info = json.load(urllib.request.urlopen('http://m.trilulilu.ro/%s?format=json' % display_id))
if info.get('errors', {}).get('geoblock'):
    use_ro_exit()  # needed before extraction will succeed

try:
    ydl.extract_info(url)
except ExtractorError as e:
    if e.expected and 'not available in your country' in str(e):
        retry_with_ro_exit(url)

When it happens

Trigger: Extracting a geoblocked trilulilu.ro media id from outside Romania; the JSON API returns errors.geoblock instead of stream data.

Common situations: Downloading Romanian-hosted content from abroad; local-licensing restrictions on music clips.
