Hi @pjtait

I've had the same issue. This means video_id cannot be found. I've checked the regexps and they are fine, but you have to be logged in for them to work! If you're using cookie file, make sure it's exported after logging in (obviously) but also check for entries starting with #Http_only. I have used firefox plugin cookies.txt which gave me these (malformed?) lines. Removing the prefix fixed the issue!

I did supply username and password in the command, so I should have been logged in OK, I think. However, I wasn't aware of the need for a cookie file - is there any documentation describing the procedure for using this?

@pjtait I believe they are alternatives. I've tried user and password without success, that's why I switched to cookies. The error was the same in both cases which i guess is expected as without logging in regexps cannot find video_id. It seems that the problem is mainly with user/pass login but also error message could be improved a bit suggesting a login problem or breaking changes in TOH website
