hello all

thanks so much for the rip program

however trying to rip this

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H7-eZm4Mg&pxtry=1

to no succes...

C:\>youtubedl -l -u http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H7-eZm4Mg&pxtry=1

Available formats for this stream:

'pxtry' blev ikke genkendt som en intern eller ekstern kommando,
et program eller en batchfil.


in danish... saying pxtry was not recognized as an internal or external command, program or batchfile...

can somebody explain ...?

thanks

The reason why you get that error is because you can't use an ampersand (&) in the url. You must either remove "&pxtry=1" or escape the ampersand with a caret.

or

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H7-eZm4Mg^&pxtry=1

The tool was written in a very short time and doesn't support every live video on YouTube, so even after removing "&pxtry=1" or escaping the ampersand it won't work unfortunately.

i'm trying to record that stream too. the ffmpeg method definitely works but i ran into a problem where it stops downloading the stream after about 2 or 3 hours. the stream is about 10 hours long. is there any way to make sure it gets the whole thing?

[magichandz]

i just discovered a bigger problem with this stream
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H7-eZm4Mg&hd=1

the ffmpeg method only captures the video but no audio. not sure why.

EDIT: looks like i was using the wrong m3u8 file. i used the one from the page source not the network monitor.

try

ffmpeg -i "bla,bla,bla" -c copy -absf aac_adtstoasc t.mp4
