Already searched and tried several solutions on this site but i can't get it working.
terminal:
:/$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SR6iYWJxHqs

ERROR: unable to download video (format may not be available)

I'm using version 2010.12.09-1webupd8lucid from repo.
Has anyone a solution?

regards

Works fine here. Could you try the latest version from the master branch and/or wait a few minutes? It may be an error on their side.

I mean this version. Download it, give it execution permissions and run it, instead of the one you're using now:
