I was interested in this topic so loaded up youtube-dl on my Kubuntu box to try it. However, obviously doing some thing wrong. Perhaps someone can explain what I am not doing or what is missing from my system?
I would definitely download directly from the github releases... perhaps the problem is the lack of the "#" as the end of the link as well. But definitely get a newer version, it changes often. https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases You may find the attached shell script useful. I have it hard linked to a few names so that the same script can dl the latest versions of a few products so far. $ ls -li bin/get-latest-~* 525757 -rwxr-xr-x 3 andrewm andrewm 4944 Mar 7 18:06 bin/get-latest-~PowerShell~Win32-OpenSSH~.sh 525757 -rwxr-xr-x 3 andrewm andrewm 4944 Mar 7 18:06 bin/get-latest-~rg3~youtube-dl~.sh 525757 -rwxr-xr-x 3 andrewm andrewm 4944 Mar 7 18:06 bin/get-latest-~stascorp~rdpwrap~.sh Each of the products also has it's own git directory under ~/git/ Cheers A.
