From 2ed1ddd0a0dd73f69b3b7f1fc9102fdc028735aa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ricardo Garcia Date: Thu, 1 Apr 2010 20:46:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Request video info webpage using "embedded" instead of "detailpage" In the request for get_video_info, use el=embedded instead of el=detailpage, as if the request was coming from an embedded video player instead of the video webpage. This created problems for some videos, with YouTube replying with "Invalid parameters". This fixes issue #109 and fixes issue #110. --- youtube-dl | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/youtube-dl b/youtube-dl index 5afd7ebc2..167fefcc0 100755 --- a/youtube-dl +++ b/youtube-dl @@ -783,7 +783,7 @@ class YoutubeIE(InfoExtractor): video_extension = self._video_extensions.get(format_param, 'flv') # Get video info - video_info_url = 'http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=%s&el=detailpage&ps=default&eurl=&gl=US&hl=en' % video_id + video_info_url = 'http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=%s&el=embedded&ps=default&eurl=&gl=US&hl=en' % video_id request = urllib2.Request(video_info_url, None, std_headers) try: self.report_video_info_webpage_download(video_id)
