Hi, I'm using a Linux Mint 13 Maya Mate distro and I have installed youtube-dl app since several months ago. I successfully downloaded some videos from youtube with youtube-dl, but since a week ago I can't make it work as I used to. I usually opened the terminal window and wrote youtube-dl followed by a blank space and the url of the video I wanted to download. Now I tried to do the same but an error code 102 is displayed in the terminal window and nothing is downloaded. I also tried with others similar apps under the same environment, and neither work. May I suppose that youtube has blockied in other way the clips, and so I would like to know if the developers have noted this problem.
I would like to be informed if developers have a newer version that probably has not been included in the standard repositories for Linux Mint. Anyway I would like to say that was a great tool when worked.
Please note that I've checked also the python libraries dependency.

HTTP 102 is a WebDAV-related error and unlikely. I strongly suspect that your output looks like

$ youtube-dl BaW_jenozKc
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] BaW_jenozKc: Extracting video information
ERROR: unable to download video

In that case, review the FAQ:

youtube requires an additional signature since September 2012 which is not supported by old versions of youtube-dl. You can update youtube-dl with sudo youtube-dl --update

I'm closing this issue since the description matches the FAQ entry perfectly. Feel free to comment if updating does not solve your problem.

Mr. Hagemeister:

Thanks a lot again, it works fine now youtube-dl.

I would like to ask you if you know how to make Linux Mint recognize as
installed a usb scanner (Smartkey 9320U) that is pretty good for me at
least. The problem is that while in windows once installed the drivers,
even through freeware like Irfanview it was flawness to define the twain
device and make the scanner work, I suppose because the OS send a signal to
the device in order to start it up. In Linux Mint it doesn't happen with
the software provided in the standard repository sources. I've been testing
several packages but none is capable to send to the scanner that signal.
And of course all connection were tested power and usb. Note that this
scanner is not plug and play, so to make it work in XP, previously is
required to install the driver. I've been looking for some answers to this
problem, but all are deficient beacuse supposed running windows in a
virtual machine (virtualbox) and I would like to make linux recognize it or
manage it properly.

I would appreciate any help about that in order to forget at once about
using windows and have all my few artifacts working with linux.

Thanks in advance.

@LuisTamayoZegers I'm glad we could help you. I'm sorry, but this bugtracker is not the place to discuss non-youtube-dl issues. Feel free to ask your question at askubuntu though. Note that it's quite hard to solve without knowing anything about the scanner though, so you should include at least the output of lsusb in a console.
