Hi!
I really like your programm and use it a lot. But i experienced a problem with some youtube videos. For example this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7HahVwYpwo won't download.
youtube-dl's output is the following:

[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] I7HahVwYpwo: Downloading video webpage
ERROR: unable to download video webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

Some other videos too won't download, usually the vevo clips.

system information:
debian -squeeze
youtube-dl version: 2011.01.30
rtmpdump is installed

Thanks in advance for your help.
All the best,
Knospi

I cannot reproduce the problem here. The issue will remain open in case someone wants to debug the problem and provide a solution.

Thanks for the fast answer.
That is indeed very strange.

It's not the first time we face this type of issue. YouTube doesn't serve me the content the same way it serves it to you, based on IP geolocation. Are you perhaps from the UK?

I'm not sure, but I think I could prepare a special version that would dump information. Stay tuned.

Try this version: https://gist.github.com/3f8f684332ec603083a0

With a 404 HTTP error when downloading the webpage, it will create a VIDEO_ID.html file in your hard drive with YouTube's response, that you can send me or post back, so we can read it.

Hi!

The output in the html file is big, so here's the zip: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4742663/I7HahVwYpwo.html.zip

It states "This video is not available in your country.". But i am able to view the link above in my browser.

All the best,
Knospi

You previously said "my server is in Germany" and you're from Austria. Could that explain why you're able to view the video in your web browser and not download it with youtube-dl?

I'm now able to download the video here in Austria, but still the same issue on my server in Germany.

Hi!

Looks like we got the problem; As you mentioned, the problem is that the video really is not available from that Geo IP Address in Germany.
I opened a graphical interface to the server via NXServer and pasted the url in the browser. What i got was the same html file i posted above ("This video is not available in your country."). When i tried to search for it using the Youtube search it didn't even show up in the results.

Looks like i have to change hosting provider.
Thanks a lot for your help and wish you all the best,
Knospi
