Have not dealt this one of these rtmpdump youtube videos before...so I may be doing something wrong.

First time I got:
"ERROR: RTMP download detected but "rtmpdump" could not be run"

...so I put a copy of rtmpdump.exe in the same directory and now I get this:

Same issue on a different URL (and platform - OSX). The path generated for rtmpdump looks suspiciously short.

Actually, the error message seems to be new, but it's rtmpe and with a generic URL, rtmpe://v10.nonxt5.c.youtube.com/videoplayback
