upgrading youtube-dl
by Peter Reutemann 24 Mar '11

24 Mar '11

Hi there Since I'm a keen command-line user and rather fond of youtube-dl, I was quite disappointed when it stopped working for me on my Ubuntu 10.04 box. Looks like the version shipped with Ubuntu was not the most up-to-date one. If you want to upgrade yours (including WebM support), check out the following instructions: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/07/update-youtube-dl-to-get-it-working.html Cheers, Peter -- Peter Reutemann, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Waikato, NZ http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/~fracpete/ Ph. +64 (7) 858-5174
