Fetches FLV URL from "sdURL" in addVariable("sequence") JSON,
instead of addVariable("video") which doesnot exist today.
Supports new title, uploader nickname format.
This, in particular, lets me grab the videos from the beginners channel with
URLs like:
http://vimeo.com/groups/fivebyfive/videos/22648611
Note that the regexp *will* break for other URLs that we don't know about
and that's on purpose: we don't want to accidentally grab videos that would
be passed on to other information extractors.
This IE should be full-featured.
Public videos can be downloaded without login, e.g:
https://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=696729990595
Private videos need login, and subject to login rate limit of
a couple of tries / minute.
The "playlist_prefix" parameter was missing when parsing playlist urls
that match the recently added format, e.g.:
http://www.youtube.com/user/stanforduniversity#g/c/9D558D49CA734A02
For these URLs (basically, for every playlist type so far, except the
artist list) playlist_prefix has to be equal to "p" for correct
exctraction.
Artist playlist pages have different format compared to user playlists,
thus more format checking is needed to construct the correct URL.
From the artist playlist this method downloads all listed below the
"Videos by [Artist Name]" header, plus usually there's one more
video on the side, titled "Youtube Mix for [Artist Name]", which
has a link format that currently cannot be distinguished from the other
videos in the list.
Since I was very lazy when I coded this, I took the fastest route. Luckily,
Vasyl' Vavrychuk pointed this out and I went (after many months) and just
did some minor changes.
This file stamp setting is very relaxed. If there's any problem
along the way (no last-modified header, bad time string format,
no time set privileges,...) or if nothing is downloaded (e.g. using
resumed download but the file was already complete) then nothing
is done.
When using youtube-dl within scripts, it is very useful to know
what will be the final output filename with all the title settings and
filename templates applied. Add option to the quiet mode operations
to print that info.
For this I had to move the filename-generation into its own function.
As much as I can tell it should work almost always well, ie. not to
break things if one not actually interested in the title, like in
case of other forced printing. That is, unless there's an invalid
system charset or the user specified a wrong output template. In that
case probably could be assumed that the user does have a problem
(the former) or did want to mess with the filename (the latter).

Following error happen while at the end of _do_download called try_rename
WindowsError: [Error 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process
Fixed several problems courtesy of jamiejones:
The parsing for the SWF url was wrong (the "//" are now escaped and the
initial .*match needs to be 'ungreedy'), so the -W setting to rtmpdump
was not set, causing the decryption of the video to be wrong.
Finally, add "&has_verified=1" to the fetch of the HMTL page to
allow fetching of age-restricted videos.
Numbering downloaded URLs was implemented with %(ord)s in the
output template. It has been replaced with the %(autonumber)s
sequence and is now also available as a command line switch.
As part of the changes, the program now downloads the highest quality version
by default and uses fmt_url_map to decide which formats are really available.
Based slightly (idea and one regular expression) on the old anonymous
dailymotion-dl.pl, but with fixes (more robust regular expression,
extracting author, support for domains other than .com). Simpler
due to the fact that youtube-dl provides all needed functionalities.
In the request for get_video_info, use el=embedded instead of el=detailpage, as
if the request was coming from an embedded video player instead of the video
webpage. This created problems for some videos, with YouTube replying with
"Invalid parameters". This fixes issue #109 and fixes issue #110.
**youtube-dl** is a small command-line program to download videos from
YouTube.com and a few more sites. It requires the Python interpreter, version
2.x (x being at least 5), and it is not platform specific. It should work in
your Unix box, in Windows or in Mac OS X. It is released to the public domain,
which means you can modify it, redistribute it or use it however you like.

## FAQ
### Can you please put the -b option back?
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''re interested in. In that case, simply request it with the -f option and youtube-dl will try to download it.
### I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What's this?
Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download too much. We''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.
### I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?
Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as [vlc](http://www.videolan.org) or [mplayer](http://www.mplayerhq.hu/).
### The links provided by youtube-dl -g are not working anymore
The URLs youtube-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct cookies. Use the `--cookies` option to write the required cookies into a file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file.
### ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info
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 `sudo youtube-dl --update`.

## BUGS
Bugs and suggestions should be reported at: <https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues>
Please include:
* Your exact command line, like `youtube-dl -t "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHlDtZ6Oc3s&feature=channel_video_title"`. A common mistake is not to escape the `&`. Putting URLs in quotes should solve this problem.
* The output of `youtube-dl --version`
* The output of `python --version`
* The name and version of your Operating System ("Ubuntu 11.04 x64" or "Windows 7 x64" is usually enough).
