get_flash_videos' YouTube downloads fail in my new stable Debian box.

[ant]

Hello.

I can't seem to get get_flash_videos to work with any YouTube video on my new stable Debian box. Here is an example:

$ get_flash_videos http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Downloading http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Using method 'youtube' for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arghq2XmijY
Unable to find video URL
YouTube:


$ get_flash_videos --version
get_flash_videos version 1.24 (http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/)


Did I miss something? Thank you in advance.

I cant get it to work either. I would recommend using my YouTube bookmarklet.

Hmm, it doesn't seem to work in Mozilla's SeaMonkey web browser.

I just tested it with SeaMonkey on Windows and it is working.

Weird. Maybe I am doing it wrong. I go to a YouTube video and click on your bookmarklet in my toolbar. Does it matter what version (2.0.14) I have and the addons/extensions (FlashBlock, AdBlock Plus, etc.)?

A bookmarklet is javascript so if you have anything blocking javascript you will need to deal with that.

Weird. I use TinyURL, DeSlide, etc. bookmarklets without any problems.

The source code is available at

Beyond that Im not sure what more I can do for you.

Thanks anyways! I use third party downloaders like Orbit Downloader, (c)clive, get_flash_videos, etc. for YouTube videos.

FYI from error console when I click on your bookmarklet:
Error: player.insertAdjacentHTML is not a function
Source file: http://svnpenn.github.com/youtube/yt.js
Line: 54

I rewrote the code to use innerHTML instead of insertAdjacentHTML.
You should try the bookmarklet again, you might need to clear your Cache first so that the bookmarklet uses the new code.
