Youtube-dl installed via pip gets error: "unable to download video info webpage: " #9996

pc-magas · 2016-07-03T15:57:46Z

I tries to download this video with -x parameter for extracting the sound only and I get these errors:

[x] I think is a good Idea to have nicer looking message even in verbose mode.
[x] Does this happen because there's not installed avconv or ffmpeg? Or is some sort of other code bug?

The version I am running is: 2016.07.03.1 in an Ubuntu 16.04 machine.

I also I do not know if it affects the result I used the guake terminal emulator. and the command I executed was:
youtube-dl -x https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxfNOVZh4B4 --verbose

I mentioned above the comand just to make it more clear and to be abble with just a copy paste t execute it.

dstftw · 2016-07-03T18:35:20Z

For youtube-dl command I attach some of the output into a file:
message.txt

Also I neeed to mention that without the -x parameter worked fine. Perhaps has issues when the internet is down. (A posssible problem)

dstftw · 2016-07-03T20:05:28Z

So does it work now? According to message.txt it does.

pc-magas · 2016-07-04T15:16:25Z

Yes it works.
Perhaps was internet's connection issue.

yan12125 · 2018-01-30T14:26:20Z

Closing as solved.

pc-magas · 2018-01-30T15:37:07Z

I think in this case would be better if a suitable message has been shown instead of all this error messages. It would be more clear for everyone using the youtube-dl.
