[yan12125]

Thanks @clancye. @yoshi314 This is fixed but not included in the latest release yet. Please wait for the next version or try the latest git tarball.

[clancye]

@yan12125 thanks! All good now.

@clancye @yan12125 How does one actually use that tarball? I can't get ./bin/youtube-dl to do anything other than spit out

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "youtube-dl", line 3, in
import youtube_dl
ImportError: No module named youtube_dl

[clancye]

@zampl1cg You don't need to go to the bin folder. Just go to the youtube-dl-master directory and run the exec from there. If you're in the terminal it will just be ./youtube-dl URL_HERE

[zampl1cg]

@clancye Maybe I'm going crazy but that file doesn't exist in https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/archive/master.zip

The only one is in bin

$ tree youtube-dl-master/ |grep youtube-dl -B 1
youtube-dl-master/
_ _
├── bin
│   └── youtube-dl
_ _
│   └── YoutubeDL.pyc
└── youtube-dl.plugin.zsh

[clancye]

@zampl1cg That's weird. I'm running OSX but that shouldn't change the file structure. I don't know what to tell you =[

[zampl1cg]

@clancye can you re-download that master.zip, and "ls youtube-dl-master/" I'm telling you its not there.

$ ls youtube-dl-master/
AUTHORS devscripts Makefile setup.cfg tox.ini
bin docs MANIFEST.in setup.py youtube_dl
CONTRIBUTING.md LICENSE README.md test youtube-dl.plugin.zsh

...or if you want to just be a superbro, could you upload the soundcloud working "youtube-dl" somewhere and link it to me?

[yan12125]

Running ./youtube_dl/__main__.py or python -m youtube_dl should work.

Its confusing as a noob. Thanks yan12125. Here is the easy steps:

1. Download https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/archive/master.zip
2. In cmd prompt "PATH\youtube_dl__main__.py" THEURL
3. Wait for the new .exe to come out
