Looks like Vevo changed their SMIL stream codes again. The SMIL-based formats are unavailable again.

Looks like this is because of geo restriction. With e97e53e fix youtube-dl will capture and output an error message vevo provides.

Will it be possible to find a way around this new restriction?

@goldensun87 Can you post the output you get with the newest version of youtube-dl when you pass in the -v flag? You can use youtube-dl -U to update.

Run youtube-dl http://www.vevo.com/watch/shakira/dare-la-la-la/USRV81200194 --verbose.

I tried it, but the latest version is still not able to download the SMIL information. What does the verbose option do?

Were you guys able to make use of this info? Because I tried the latest version, but it still couldn't download the SMIL info.

SMIL formats are not available for all videos.
we try to extract them when it's possible.
in the next version there will be more formats to choose from.
and also geo restricted videos will be downloaded from youtube.
