Hi,

I see youtube-dl.py script cannot download a video from youtube. However option -g (get-url ) is working fine.

I am using latest script.

$ youtube-dl.py --version
2011.03.29

An example

bash$ youtube-dl.py 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVFbA1AbEUw'
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] DVFbA1AbEUw: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] DVFbA1AbEUw: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] DVFbA1AbEUw: Extracting video information
[youtube] RTMP download detected
[download] Destination: DVFbA1AbEUw.flv
[rtmpdump] 0 bytes
ERROR: rtmpdump exited with code 1

Can you please check this and fix.

Regards,
Shabeer

@FiloSottile
Looking at the gist you had posted, it seems its getting stuck at SWFVerification & we are not alone.

Btw, I was wondering if supporting this feature would make sense because of this. Also, this looks interesting
