[youtube playlist] ERROR: [Errno 32] Broken pipe with vlc

[carlodoro88]

With last upgrade version 2017.08.27.1 this command doesn't work anymore:

youtube-dl -v -i -f "best[height<=?720]" -g https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4t1iG6D25Rubmt-1OGq6cuEuTxxxxxx | vlc -

Before this last upgrade I could load a playlist of youtube videos in vlc with this command.

Now I receive this error :

ERROR: [Errno 32] Broken pipe Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 787, in extract_info return self.process_ie_result(ie_result, download, extra_info) File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 841, in process_ie_result return self.process_video_result(ie_result, download=download) File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 1560, in process_video_result self.to_stdout('[debug] Default format spec: %s' % req_format) File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 500, in to_stdout self._write_string(output, self._screen_file) File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 489, in _write_string write_string(s, out=out, encoding=self.params.get('encoding')) File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/utils.py", line 1401, in write_string out.flush()

Can you fix this bug?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

What if you only try -f 'best' as format parameter?

I've resolved changing the kernel of my Ubuntu distro. This error exits if you use kernel intel-drm-next or drm-next version 4.13.0-996-generic, while returning at the previous official kernel 4.4.0-92-generic #115~14.04.1-Ubuntu...youtube-dl works !

For me the issue has resolved.
