Re^2: using WWW::YouTube::Download?

[Anonymous Monk]

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

I tried get-flash-videos too. Unfortunately, it gives 404 error. I could see this through checking the debug output. Seems that Youtube recognizes and rejects get-flash-videos also.
