michael@bestbuntu:~$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP0D5u3EMfA [youtube] Setting language [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Downloading video webpage [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Extracting video information ERROR: unable to download video Here is a fix https://github.com/virtulis/youtube- dl/commit/9ca667065e7371322e0970421fb4e03f8bd00b9e the fix is already in the youtube-dl repos. So you have to update youtube-dl with "sudo youtube-dl -U". In my opinion this new version (or just the fix) should be inclueded directly in the version ubuntu is shipping. Or just put "youtube-dl -U" in the postinst. after the update michael@bestbuntu:~$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lP0D5u3EMfA [youtube] Setting language [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Downloading video webpage [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] lP0D5u3EMfA: Extracting video information [download] Destination: lP0D5u3EMfA.mp4 [download] 0.0% of 3.74G at 579.96k/s ETA --:-- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: youtube-dl 2012.02.27-1 [modified: usr/bin/youtube-dl] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-34.53-generic 3.2.33 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-34-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu15 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Dec 2 13:29:47 2012 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, no user) LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: youtube-dl UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: youtube-dl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1085621 Title: youtube-dl is not able to download all youtube-videos because ubuntu is not using the newest version To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/youtube-dl/+bug/1085621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
