Hi, i develop a gui that plays youtube videos via mplayer and to do that, i rely on youtube-dl to get urls that i feed directly to mplayer.
Lately, more and more urls returned by youtube-dl are https ones.
That urls cannot be played by mplayer, since it lacks https support.
As a totally noob about python, i just tried that:
cp /path/to/youtube.py /path/to/youtube.py.bak
cat /path/to/youtube.py.bak | sed 's/https/http/' > /path/to/youtube.py
After that, every url returned by youtube-dl was "https free" and playable streams.
That makes me think that it would be possible for youtube-dl to return http urls; that's why i'm asking you to provide a way to do it without ugly sed hacks to the code :)
What do you think? Thanks for reading.
