.SH FAQ
.SS Can you please put the -b option back?
.PP
Most people asking this question are not aware that youtube-dl now
defaults to downloading the highest available quality as reported by
YouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longer
need the -b option.
For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to be
available in a specific high quality format you\[aq]\[aq]re interested
in.
In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl will
try to download it.
.SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What\[aq]s
this?
.PP
Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download
too much.
We\[aq]\[aq]re considering to provide a way to let you solve the
CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the
moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the
youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube-dl.
.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?
.PP
Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as
vlc (http://www.videolan.org) or mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/).
.SS The links provided by youtube-dl -g are not working anymore
.PP
The URLs youtube-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct
cookies.
Use the \f[C]--cookies\f[] option to write the required cookies into a
file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file.
Some sites also require a common user agent to be used, use
\f[C]--dump-user-agent\f[] to see the one in use by youtube-dl.
.SS ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info
.PP
youtube has switched to a new video info format in July 2011 which is
not supported by old versions of youtube-dl.
You can update youtube-dl with \f[C]sudo\ youtube-dl\ --update\f[].

Please include:
.IP \[bu] 2
Your exact command line, like
\f[C]youtube-dl\ -t\ "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlDtZ6Oc3s&feature=channel_video_title"\f[].
A common mistake is not to escape the \f[C]&\f[].
Putting URLs in quotes should solve this problem.
.IP \[bu] 2
The output of \f[C]youtube-dl\ --version\f[]
.IP \[bu] 2
The output of \f[C]python\ --version\f[]
.IP \[bu] 2
The name and version of your Operating System ("Ubuntu 11.04 x64" or
"Windows 7 x64" is usually enough).
