Do you want to download both the presenter video and the slides?

[lesshaste]

Yes that would be great. Thank you.

[jaimeMF]

Done, thanks for the report.

[lesshaste]

Thank you. How do I get this newest version? After doing youtube-dl -U I still get

@lesshaste The addition of techtalks was just after the 2013.10.17 release. Type sudo youtube-dl -U to update once again (maybe in a couple of minutes from now, GitHub takes some time to update to the new content), and you should get youtube-dl v2013.10.18 or newer, which does support techtalks.tv.

Thank you, it works perfectly. Should there be a progress bar? I get nothing by default and --verbose is too verbose.

techtalks uses the streaming protocol rtmp instead of the more convenient HTTP. Therefore, youtube-dl as to resort to calling rtmpdump. Unfortunately, rtmpdump has no progress bar, and we haven't yet managed to find a good way to reliably parse its output. If you are interested, feel free to propose a pull request to change that.
