Re^5: using WWW::YouTube::Download?

[serkankara]

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.

I have looked at get-flash-videos recent issues and the issue 453 suggests to use a recent version from git. I have been able to download youtube videos with this recent version.

I had the same problem with error 404 when downloading YouTube videos and I solved it.

After frustrating, cursing, losing a few hairs and having a few more turn gray, I found the problem.

When you copy a URL from a YouTube video in Firefox (or presumably another browser) you get something like this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=zLHc8NR_v-8

you want to remove this portion of the string: feature=player_detailpage&v=

The above string is for the browser, or for flash player, but is not a part of the video address string.

YOU WANT THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLHc8NR_v-8#t=136s

When I called download with this string (with "feature_player" removed) it worked like a charm.

Hmm, in that case, please report the bug, it worked for me very recently (i want to say this month)

mozilla addon UnPlug works, the difference appears to be a &signature=key
