Is it possible to select the source IP through an option? My linux server has multiple IP addresses. Curl and Wget have options which allow me to download a file using any of my IPs but it seems you're using neither of them.
if possible please add a source IP like this:

--interface eth0:1
or --interface 192.168.1.5

Thanks

Should be possible, although the code required / usefulness ratio is probably large, so I won't prioritize this. Aside from a patch for rtmpdump (a program we call for RTMP streams), this needs to be set just for HTTP connections.

Patches for this feature are welcome - I'll look into it when I have the time.

Hi
Thanks for the answer. I'm not a python programmer(Only PHP) so I really can't help.
All I could understand is you use urllib2 and maybe this could help:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1150332/source-interface-with-python-and-urllib2
I'll try to get the url using the -g and try to see if the url works with another IP.

In current versions of youtube-dl (see our FAQ if you need help updating) this possible via the --source-address option.
