aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T07:42:51Z

Bump ?

Hrxn · 2016-12-30T10:53:50Z

jsyk3p0HTLw works for me...

Did you try to update OpenSSL?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T12:59:22Z

@Hrxn openssl s_client can connect (just with some certificate verification errors) but Python can't, so I guess the problem is in Python instead of OpenSSL.

@aaruni96 Could you try Python 3.x or Python > 2.7.9? 2.7.6 is way too old and may contain mysterious bugs.

By the way,

Downloading from youtube doesn't work after updating to current version.

Do you remember which version works?

aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T14:32:39Z

@yan12125 : how do I select which python version to use? AFAIK, I have both python2.7 and python3 installed in my Ubuntu.

I don't really remember which version used to work. Does the -U command have a log somewhere ?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T14:49:19Z

Try: python3 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Does the -U command have a log somewhere ?

Unfortunately, no

aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T14:52:29Z

Ah, works nicely with python 3. How to make python3 default ?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T14:55:22Z

How to make python3 default ?

Adding this to ~/.bashrc should work:

alias youtube-dl="python3 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl"

aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T15:13:28Z

No way to change the program itself to use python3 as default?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T16:14:50Z

No way to change the program itself to use python3 as default?

A possible solution is removing /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl and installing youtube-dl with pip3. See https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/README.md#installation for more details

aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T17:25:10Z

I can see the shebang line if I try to view the executable as plain text. Won't it use python3 if I change something in there?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T17:30:01Z

That works, but changes to the shebang will be overridden the next time you run an update (youtube-dl -U)

aaruni96 · 2016-12-30T17:35:43Z

Okay, I'd say the issue is resolved. Close thread ?

yan12125 · 2016-12-30T18:18:33Z

Feel free to close it if you don't want Python 2 support for youtube-dl

vitorgalvao · 2017-04-15T17:16:42Z

I’d say the alias fix is appropriate, and that since @aaruni96 even mentioned it, this can be closed.
