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.

Code:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A0H7-eZm4Mg
or

Code:
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.
