Hi,

Youtube-dl doesn't work for some videos like:
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU

I am copying the result as well as the version of my ffmpeg. I use Ubuntu 12.04, 64bit. I have recently updated my ubuntu by "sudo apt-get update"

I would appreciate if you can help me download this video.

Thanks.

We need to add '-strict -2' to ffmpeg options.

[aac @ 0xa95ec40] The encoder 'aac' is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, add '-strict -2' if you want to use it.

Now we also use avconv for downloading m3u8 manifests, so systems that don't ship with recent versions of ffmpeg and use avconv will work.

@hpirsiav commented on GitHub (Nov 10, 2013): Sorry, I am confused as I don't still know how to download this video. Can you please help me more with a little more details? How can I open this issue again? I ran the following commands, but didn't work: sudo youtube-dl -U youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU but got the following error: $ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU [youtube] Setting language [youtube] Y4ARBzok9aU: Downloading video webpage [youtube] Y4ARBzok9aU: Downloading video info webpage [youtube] Y4ARBzok9aU: Extracting video information [youtube] Y4ARBzok9aU: Downloading formats manifest [download] Destination: Diving - Men 10m Final - London 2012 Olympic Games-Y4ARBzok9aU.mp4 ffmpeg version 0.10.9-7:0.10.9-1~precise1 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg developers built on Oct 4 2013 06:37:30 with gcc 4.6.3 configuration: --arch=amd64 --disable-stripping --enable-pthreads --enable-runtime-cpudetect --extra-version='7:0.10.9-1~precise1' --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr --enable-bzlib --enable-libdc1394 --enable-libfreetype --enable-frei0r --enable-gnutls --enable-libgsm --enable-libmp3lame --enable-librtmp --enable-libopencv --enable-libopenjpeg --enable-libpulse --enable-libschroedinger --enable-libspeex --enable-libtheora --enable-vaapi --enable-vdpau --enable-libvorbis --enable-libvpx --enable-zlib --enable-gpl --enable-postproc --enable-libcdio --enable-x11grab --enable-libx264 --shlibdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu --enable-shared --disable-static libavutil 51. 35.100 / 51. 35.100 libavcodec 53. 61.100 / 53. 61.100 libavformat 53. 32.100 / 53. 32.100 libavdevice 53. 4.100 / 53. 4.100 libavfilter 2. 61.100 / 2. 61.100 libswscale 2. 1.100 / 2. 1.100 libswresample 0. 6.100 / 0. 6.100 libpostproc 52. 0.100 / 52. 0.100 Input #0, applehttp, from 'http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/hls_playlist/id/638011073a24f5a5/itag/96/source/youtube/ratebypass/yes/pfa/1/pbr/yes/hls_chunk_host/www.youtube.com/gir/yes/clen/4932922720/lmt/1347749901647320/dur/7044.840/maudio/1/pmbypass/yes/cp/U0hXSVFOVV9ISkNON19JSFlKOkJuR25WZlNoQ2Iy/playlist_type/DVR/fexp/923902,941239,936118,936910,907231,907240/upn/suS3ZuRr4kU/sver/3/ip/2001:470:8b2d:834:ed94:4973:93bc:edf2/ipbits/48/expire/1384137930/sparams/ip,ipbits,expire,id,itag,source,ratebypass,pfa,pbr,hls_chunk_host,gir,clen,lmt,dur,maudio,pmbypass,cp,playlist_type/signature/45B9FD468477B9FC5F4B24FC8A43CBB2FB3F43C3.7A392C47C0A6A2D059901348FA755205B11FD21A/key/dg_yt0/file/index.m3u8': Duration: 01:47:27.00, start: 51725.592178, bitrate: 1 kb/s Stream #0:0: Video: h264 (High) ([27][0][0][0] / 0x001B), yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], 25 tbr, 90k tbn, 50 tbc Stream #0:1: Audio: aac ([15][0][0][0] / 0x000F), 48000 Hz, stereo, s16 [buffer @ 0x18ab1e0] w:1920 h:1080 pixfmt:yuv420p tb:1/1000000 sar:1/1 sws_param: Incompatible sample format 's16' for codec 'aac', auto-selecting format 'flt' [libx264 @ 0x16b5820] using SAR=1/1 [libx264 @ 0x16b5820] using cpu capabilities: MMX2 SSE2Fast SSSE3 FastShuffle SSE4.2 AVX [libx264 @ 0x16b5820] profile High, level 4.0 [libx264 @ 0x16b5820] 264 - core 120 r2151 a3f4407 - H.264/MPEG-4 AVC codec - Copyleft 2003-2011 - http://www.videolan.org/x264.html - options: cabac=1 ref=3 deblock=1:0:0 analyse=0x3:0x113 me=hex subme=7 psy=1 psy_rd=1.00:0.00 mixed_ref=1 me_range=16 chroma_me=1 trellis=1 8x8dct=1 cqm=0 deadzone=21,11 fast_pskip=1 chroma_qp_offset=-2 threads=18 sliced_threads=0 nr=0 decimate=1 interlaced=0 bluray_compat=0 constrained_intra=0 bframes=3 b_pyramid=2 b_adapt=1 b_bias=0 direct=1 weightb=1 open_gop=0 weightp=2 keyint=250 keyint_min=25 scenecut=40 intra_refresh=0 rc_lookahead=40 rc=crf mbtree=1 crf=23.0 qcomp=0.60 qpmin=0 qpmax=69 qpstep=4 ip_ratio=1.40 aq=1:1.00 [NULL @ 0x18ac6e0] Codec is experimental but experimental codecs are not enabled, see -strict -2 Output #0, mp4, to 'Diving - Men 10m Final - London 2012 Olympic Games-Y4ARBzok9aU.mp4.part': Stream #0:0: Video: h264, yuv420p, 1920x1080 [SAR 1:1 DAR 16:9], q=-1--1, 90k tbn, 25 tbc Stream #0:1: Audio: none, 48000 Hz, stereo, flt, 128 kb/s Stream mapping: Stream #0:0 -> #0:0 (h264 -> libx264) Stream #0:1 -> #0:1 (aac -> aac) Error while opening encoder for output stream #0:1 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height ERROR: ffmpeg exited with code 1 I also tried sudo apt-get install libav-tools to install avconv, but it said it is already installed.
