I was using get_flash_videos to download videos off youtube just last 
week and it work fine.

I did a   get_flash_videos --updates  and no updates available , i have 
latest version .

I have done Fedora updates this week, could there be a Problem there in 
the updates ?

youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wTWWjYTe1I'
should do it.

I've been using "youtube-dl" for years and the last time I used it was
two days ago.  Now I just checked your video and got the error.  I also
tried different videos I grabbed during the week and they no longer work
with the tool.

YouTube definitely changed something on their side.  We'll have to wait
until the various tools catch up.

Jorge

Get the update from

https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/youtube-dl-2011.08.04-1.fc15

Youtube keeps changing things all the time and you typically need the
very latest version to get it working again.  We push updates quite
frequently because of this

I think this time its quite drastic. Nothing is working: youtube-dl,
youtube-viewer, vlc.

Thanks Rahul !  That works!   Is the update coming to F14 ?  My system
is totally updated and the one I had was
youtube-dl-2011.03.29-1.fc14.noarch.

Again, thanks!

Thanks Rahul that does the trick.
I wonder why that rpm wasn't pushed to the repos ?

I wondered the same thing but noticed the package was updated today
after the bug was submitted precisely today.  The bug pointed to the
upstream patch and the Fedora packages quickly built it.   I guess it'll
take some time before it shows up.

I'm on F14 so I didn't. But I did get an update for vlc today and I am
following the git HEAD for youtube-viewer.

It's there (one page behind) Click on "youtube-dl-2011.08.04-1.fc14"
(in the "Builds" field) and then under RPMs, click on "download" in the
noarch" section.

Here's the direct link the rpm:
