.SH FAQ | ||
.SS Can you please put the -b option back? | ||
.PP | ||
Most people asking this question are not aware that youtube-dl now | ||
defaults to downloading the highest available quality as reported by | ||
YouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longer | ||
need the -b option. | ||
For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to be | ||
available in a specific high quality format you\[aq]\[aq]re interested | ||
in. | ||
In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl will | ||
try to download it. | ||
.SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What\[aq]s | ||
this? | ||
.PP | ||
Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download | ||
too much. | ||
We\[aq]\[aq]re considering to provide a way to let you solve the | ||
CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the | ||
moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the | ||
youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube-dl. | ||
.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it? | ||
.PP | ||
Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as | ||
vlc (http://www.videolan.org) or mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/). | ||
.SS The links provided by youtube-dl -g are not working anymore | ||
.PP | ||
The URLs youtube-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct | ||
cookies. | ||
Use the \f[C]--cookies\f[] option to write the required cookies into a | ||
file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file. | ||
Some sites also require a common user agent to be used, use | ||
\f[C]--dump-user-agent\f[] to see the one in use by youtube-dl. | ||
.SS ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info | ||
.PP | ||
youtube has switched to a new video info format in July 2011 which is | ||
not supported by old versions of youtube-dl. | ||
You can update youtube-dl with \f[C]sudo\ youtube-dl\ --update\f[]. | ||

Bugs and suggestions should be reported at: | ||
<https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues> | ||
.PP | ||
Please include: | ||
.IP \[bu] 2 | ||
Your exact command line, like | ||
\f[C]youtube-dl\ -t\ "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlDtZ6Oc3s&feature=channel_video_title"\f[]. | ||
A common mistake is not to escape the \f[C]&\f[]. | ||
Putting URLs in quotes should solve this problem. | ||
