YT: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'encode'

[wbyoko]

Seems to only happen when login credentials are present in youtube download

Did some peripheral debugging and seems related to changes in the html of the login page. seems the dsh var isn't set anymore.

Thank you for the report. This bug has been fixed in youtube-dl 2013.10.29. Type sudo youtube-dl -U to update.

Out of curiosity, why are you specifying the whole title in the command line instead of just -o '%(title)s.%(ext)s'?

Thanks for the tip. That is not the full title. That was just copy and truncate work for the issue.

Thank you for the help!
