I tried the python version on my mac and it performed quite well. Very handy utility. 1) downloaded https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/youtube-dl/2010.07.22-1/+files... 2) tar -zxvf youtube-dl_2010.07.22.orig.tar.gz 3) python youtube-dl <youtube url> Thanks for this.

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
