Current version 2010.12.09 does not work with Python 3.1.
It does though work great with Python 2.6.
Great job. I've been using for years and love it. Thanks!
Thank you!! This is a great piece of software! It works like a sharm!!!!!!!!!!!
youtube-dl is a very handy program to download videos from YouTube. It's proven very useful for me, and I'm using it often. Highly recommended.
Thank you for 2009.05.11 and the return of the -b option! -f was slightly annoying.
Sorry to bother you. I have been using Youtube-dl for a project but can't see to find a way to get it to do an exact phrase search. youtube-dl.py "ytsearchall:Dog eat Cat" --get-url --format=18. I would like to generate the same search query as if going to YouTube and typing in "Dog eat Cat" including the speech marks to make it an exact phrase match. I have tried numerous ways but don't end up with the right results. Could you possible post the solution. Love the program by the way!
