Stops working when running in background without terminal

[iampradip]

I am using in Raspberry Pi. Trying to run this in ssh: youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxx & starts downloading but closing ssh connection terminates youtube-dl. I tried putting several downloads in sh file and running it without terminal, but youtube-dl doesn't try to download any of them. wget works in same situation. In short, youtube-dl only works when terminal is active.

Note: This was not issue in previous versions when DASH formats were not supported.

Can't you just use nohup youtube-dl <ARGS> &?

Wget chooses to ignore SIGHUP, I don't know if we want to do this.

If you can point to the specific version that supposedly breaks it, we can try to revert the change. Without that info I can't know what can be the cause.

Thanks, this works.

I am not sure which version was that, I had it installed from repository on Raspbian Wheezy.
