It's likely either that or a problem with the video. Could you try a On Tue, Oct 21, 2014 at 1:06 AM, ThorodanBrom notifications@github.com

You shouldn't be using an extension with the youtube video - your final command was correct. Hmm... could you try running wget https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Psuqys26J4 (you can install and download wget here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuwin32/files/wget/1.11.4-1/wget-1.11.4-1-setup.exe/download, or through chocolatey if you prefer) and paste the HTML contents into a gist (see gist.github.com), and post the link to the gist here? Looks like you're getting an oddball character in the page that youtube-dl can't even read. You're not behind a firewall or proxy or anything... even if everything works in your browser, youtube-dl goes through your terminal so it is not configured correctly. Beyond that, I'd have to ask you to clone from the source code to try to get this error solved. I'd like to know what video_info_url is (youtube_dl\extractor\youtube.py[o], line 703), as it looks like that's linking to a bizzare URL. Even the failure on self._download_webpage is not working, so I'm guesing video_info_url is something not even on youtube. |

https://gist.github.com/ThorodanBrom/39ea65be3e9183eda929 This is the gist. But still, no dice. Don't even know where this gets saved if it works |

Could you also post the contents of the watch@v=8Psuqys26J4 file? It shouldn't in ANY event be 4,398 characters... this isn't a private video of any sort? |
|
Note that (from the output of wget) the certificate for youtubue.com cannot been verified and probably is invalid. So you may not get the correct pages. Can you play the videos in a browser? If not, you may want to try using a proxy. |

Closing due to no response for a long time. |
Have downloaded the latest Win .exe file for youtube-dl, and have downloaded Python 3.4.2, yet this error comes

I mean the second one, about the non-hexadecimal digit
Is this something to do about my network?
