It is not an error due to youtube, or too much traffic. That is a good
old-fashioned python error trace. It looks like an error in clive itself.
There is no problem with youtube or the video in question. I can retrieve
the video with no problem:
cclive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDYbNIHyN0
fetch config ...done.
verify video link ...done.
youtube_FwDYbNIHyN0.flv 5% 1.7M / 34.6M
A few days ago, Pablo suggested that the version of clive in Lenny does
not work very well, but the version in backports works okay. So you will
want to try the version in backports.
http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/clive
How to install things from backports has been discussed recently in
other threads.
I am no expert in clive, since I mostly use cclive. But one thing I know
is that you usually need to have a recent version, since places like
youtube are always tinkering with their protocol.
Hope this helps,
Phil
