I checked and pornhub is on the list of supported sites of youtube dl. But i have never successfully downloaded video from them yet (tried many youtube-dl versions). Comand output below:

Looks like you are using youtube-dl from gentoo packages with "no offensive sites" filter (they just wipe out all the porno and etc. extractors from the resulting package). Not sure if this can be worked around somehow, but you can install original youtube-dl manually following our official instructions.

Sorry, i did not realise that it is disabled by default in Gentoo and i have to enable it myself.

I mean WTF ? Who the hell packaged it this way ?
