Python error when executing via crond

[bwa-]

I think #1810/#1811 might have introduced an error? I get the following message with the current version (2013-11-25.3), executing a script via cron:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 9, in

Here's the command:

nice -n 19 youtube-dl --playlist-end 20 -c -i --max-quality 22 -o "%(title)s.%(id)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/user/username

uname -a:

Linux rpi 3.10.19-3-ARCH #1 PREEMPT Thu Nov 21 20:33:10 CST 2013 armv6l GNU/Linux

This only happens when using cron. Downgrading to version 2013-11-18 fixed it for me.

Sorry for the problem and thanks for the report! You are right, that change introduced a bug.
It seems that you are using pip, if you want to verify it's fixed, you can install the code from the repo with: pip install -e git+https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl.git#egg=youtube-dl

Thanks for the rapid feedback! I actually use Arch's built-in package manager (pacman). I tried setting youtube-dl up via pip but failed horribly when it told me something about unknown distributions and such.
I'll just use the old version until this change gets rolled out. If I run into this or another problem, I'll report back.

Thanks again!

You may find it preferable to use the youtube-dl-git package on the ALUR. That way you can rebuild whenever a new fix is included.

Fixed in youtube-dl 2013.11.28. You'll still get the warning (and messed-up filenames) though. Set the LC_ALL environment variable to indicate a filesystem encoding. en_US.UTF-8 should be a good value for most systems.
