youtube-dl - unable to download video (format may not be available)
I downloaded youtube-dl tarball from this link.
What's wrong here? Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~/tarBalls> tar -xf youtube-dl-2010.08.04.tar.bz2 |
Youtube recently changed its APIs, had the same problem with minitube. Maybe it helps to try the version directly from the GIT-repo on that site.

Thanks for replying and I am sorry for being dumb!
Did you mean this by the git repo: http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html If not then explain, please. |
Exactly, but no reason to call yourself dumb, I don't even now how to use git.
|
Thanks for not throwing bricks at me :D
I copied the code from this link to a file named downloadVideos.sh, made it executable by "chmod" and ran it like: Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~> ./downloadVideos.sh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfOC_Msb1dI |
OT posts about "Permissions & chmod" are now here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi....php?p=4315592

I wish I had noticed that before I moved the posts. I don't mod Linux - Newbie so it's now out of my hands -- see Question 3 in my next reply there.
FWIW, veering your own thread in a new direction is nowhere near as bad as hijacking someone else's. |
Hi,
youtube-dl was working fine till date, but now it fails to download some video, i tried downloading this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFbCDaPKOFM) but it failed to download, is there any changes needed in the script to download from youtube. thanks. |
Have you tried what I said in post 5?
|
@Anisha Kaul,
I tried using post #5 method, but unable to download. thanks. |
You are right, it doesn't work for me too:

Perhaps there may have been some problem with the Youtube site, previously?
