Hello,
The command line program : youtube-dl.exe doesn't work since few days.
I use it in my freeware XBNE (http://passion-xbmc.org/downloads/?sa=view;id=23)
Can you do something about it ?
THX.

As far as I'm aware, there's no official youtube-dl.exe, although you can generate one using py2exe yourself. A couple of days ago, youtube changed their protocol. There's a new version out that fixes these problems.

I found how to create an executable with py2exe, but i didn't find how to incorporate dll and *.pyd in executable, if somebody have an idea ?

Did you intend to close this issue? You should contact the py2exe support for details on the creation. Also, do you know who created the previous .exe? We didn't do it, so there must be some youtube-dl fan and py2exe expert out there who could just rerun his makefile.

I'm sorry, but my Windows/py2exe knowledge is too limited to find a way to include the URLs. I'll report back if I find anything. In the meantime (unless we have a py2exe user/developer in here)
