(Why did you post that _after_ the '-- ' signature-delimiter line? That makes it unnecessarily hard to quote your post, at least in mail clients which respect the signature delimiter.) cclive used to be a better and more versatile option than youtube-dl, but last I'd checked, it had been essentially abandoned some years ago; the most recent post to its development mailing list by the person who appears to have been its active developer was in November of 2013. It's based on libquvi, which is similarly abandoned; the most recent post indicating meaningful activity on its development mailing list was in July of 2015. Given how frequently some of the sites supported by quvi (including, especially, YouTube) change their formats, and how many times quvi's YouTube support got broken that way even while it was being actively developed, I would be exceedingly surprised if cclive actually still worked for more than a subset of YouTube videos nowadays. I used to use cclive by preference over youtube-dl, but since quvi development / maintenance effectively ceased, I've migrated over to youtube-dl and have had no reason to regret the switch. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
