Re: using WWW::YouTube::Download?

[frozenwithjoy]

Given the YouTube url http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sP4NMoJcFd4, the $video_id is sP4NMoJcFd4.

UPDATE... The following was sufficient to d/l that video (and it played successfully using VLC). I also used some of the other calls successfully, so it seems like all is working well with this module.

#!/usr/bin/env perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use WWW::YouTube::Download;
my $video_id = "sP4NMoJcFd4";
my $client = WWW::YouTube::Download->new;
$client->download($video_id);

I tried this code to download a youtube video and got the message: !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlZhEvsQmWQ&cc=1 download failed: 403 Forbidden at C:\...\perlDownloader.pl line 8 If you can offer some suggestions to prevent this negative response, I would appreciate.

I re-ran the code I posted in June (that definitely worked in June) and I'm getting a 403 error, too. Perhaps YouTube is blocking downloading of videos in this manner.

http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ still works, maybe needs .com/v/id sometimes instead of ?watch=id, but mostly it just works
