Till a few versions back, YTDL worked fine downloading you-demi vids. But, now it is consistently croaking out. Since I update my ytdl on a regular basis (every 2 days) I am NOT sure what version worked. But, my current version (2017.02.10) as of Feb 11, 2017 (IST) does NOT work.

I can provide a verbose output if you need, but the only thing I would suggest is that you please look through what you have changed for you-demi downloading during the past 3-5 versions and (maybe) revert the changes? And if nothing has changed in the you-demi downloader, then please look at what may have changed in your core functionality within the last few days (not even weeks) that downloading you-demi vids is broken.

Also, let me know how I can roll-back to an earlier version of ytdl.

Thanks!

as much as I appreciate the fantastically useful s/w you have built, are you at least going to tell us if you are going to fix this or if it is fixed?

As clearly seen from your log the problem is in your network connection.

thank you dstfw. but, how do I find out this problem (which line) so I can at least bring it up to my ISP.

Hey, thanks a lot for that reply. One more thing ... if I use the you-demi app on my tablet ... I am able to download the videos on the same connection. But, on my Mac ... with standard python (2.7.something?) ... youtube-dl croaks after some time. See if that info helps.

I am calling my ISP right now. But, I really have a feeling that something changed in the ytdl code that seems to have broken this. Really sorry for bothering you with this. And I truly, sincerely appreciate the software you have built for us. But, I really need to download this course and it is becoming frustrating that the thing that worked just a week ago is NOT working now. :(

MORE FYI ... if you have time to spare:

• I checked the history on you-demi script and realized that you have NOT updated that since Sep 2016
• I downloaded an older version (31.01.17) and tried using that ("python ytdl-31.01.17") but even that seems to croak. NOTE that this was downloaded into my (~/Downloads) dir and run directly from there. The always updated youtube-dl stays in /usr/bin.

I am truly, sincerely, really sorry for bothering you with this, but I would really like to see my fave ytdl working on you-demi so I can continue studying.

Your help is MUCH, much appreciated.
