The youtube-dl script all of a sudden stopped working today.

I went to their website and there's only one issue open on this, from several days ago, no replies, seems to be no action on this.

Is youtube-dl actively maintained? Did Google make it impossible for youtube-dl to work anymore? What's the story? Is anyone working on fixing this? Are there alternatives that actually still work?

Thanks.

hallo,
as i know, youtube-dl is a script which is changing pretty often, because youtube himself do some changes...the version in sidux repo is 2010.07.14-1 and it worked just two or 3 days ago, but not any more. the error is the same phillip has: ERROR: format not available for video

i suppose that is gonna be updated soon.


...ok, i just rechecked - on the youtube-dl site, there is already an update and it works well here:

http://bitbucket.org/rg3/youtube-dl/wiki/Home

Thanks! That works now.

I'd forgotten to check their repository too, which might have gotten me a working version a day or two ago.

Thanks again everyone.

Hmmm, just downloaded it and tried it here, and it doesn't work. It says setting language, downloading page. Then it returns to the command prompt and nothing downloads.

that's strange?! i just tried it again in order to see if it works, and it does.

Yesterday I went to here:

http://www.youtube.com/user/StNicholasEpiscopal

Clicked on the first sermon in the right column, got this URL:

http://www.youtube.com/user/StNicholasEpiscopal#p/c/BA994E97CAB499FC/0/2VGN79gJrSY

That one didn't work.

Now when I click on the same sermon link, I get this URL:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VGN79gJrSY

That one does work.

The only difference between the two is that today I have Javascript disabled via NoScript at YouTube. Yesterday I had it enabled so the Flash video would play in the browser window.

what does youtube-dl -v say?
here:

nowhiskey@murija5:~/Desktop$ youtube-dl -v
2010.07.22
nowhiskey@murija5:~/Desktop$

Same version.

So it appears to be working fine. My mistake, sorry for the noise. Thank you for the still very useful youtube-dl!
