This should be fixed in my fork, although there sees to be 2GB file limit imposed by youtube. |
|
Will close here then. |
|
Has this issue actually been fixed in the standard youtube-dl, or only in the fork? If the latter, shouldn't this issue stay open until the fork gets merged? |
|
@joshtriplett I'm still working how releasing goes, and I don't have much time lately ... should be fixed this weekend. |
|
Just pushed the whole fork onto the main repo and released a new version. Issue can stay closed. |
|
Awesome, thank you! |

I'm curious when people watch live TV events, how are they able download it starting from the current live TV position? If this goes without saying, I'm not sure what to do. It wouldn really make sense to try to download the ENTIRE live tv stream; which could be weeks worth of video. |

this ability to download live stream still has same error /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --version /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -c -l http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJHdBB3YX9k date |

Unfortunately, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJHdBB3YX9k is not available on youtube's website, so I think we're out of luck there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Me3iPet9S78 is a current live stream, and it works fine for me. youtube-dl starts downloading at the current position though, and not from the start, but that may be desired / unavoidable. Closing for now until a demo URL and precise description of the issue shows up. |

Duplicating what I posted in #108, $ youtube-dl -v --console-title -c -t http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLzaaLev-yc In this instance, video_info['hlsvp'] is a URL to a index.m3u8 playlist which appear to contain what we're after.. Cheers, |

The Coachella Live channels are having the same issue. Seems YouTube is pointing to m3u8's. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exfMYyQ59F8 (channel 2) |

I still get the same error for this video: I would appreciate if one can help me download this. On an older version of youtube-dl: $ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU On an updated version: $ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4ARBzok9aU ERROR: ffmpeg exited with code 1 |

@hpirsiav It works fine for me, could you open a new issue with the output of |

@jaimeMF Thanks for your help. I just opened a new issue with the outputs you requested: I also tried |
YouTube Live streams work with URLs that look like regular YouTube videos, complete with a video ID, but youtube-dl produces this error: "no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info".
The video info probably contains the information on the stream rather than the usual video URL. Given the nature of a live stream, it would probably make sense to provide a URL to pass to an external player, assuming that the YouTube player doesn't do anything magic that a local video player can't replicate. However, downloading would also make sense in some cases, and hopefully old URLs continue to work and support downloading.
