youtube-dl fails when provided with an output filename with non-ascii characters: $ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fq_fkHESF0c -o õ Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 826, in <module> 'outtmpl': ((opts.outtmpl is not None and opts.outtmpl.decode()) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) PS: Enjoy the video :D
Please post your `emerge --info' too.
Hope it helps then :) Portage 2.1.4.4 (default/linux/amd64/2008.0/developer, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.26-gentoo-worship x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.26-gentoo-worship x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3200+ Timestamp of tree: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 14:34:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r13, 2.5.2-r6 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.61-r2 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.25-r4 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -ggdb" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-php5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64 -ggdb" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="collision-protect cvs digest distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer multilib-strict parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms sign splitdebug strict unmerge-orphans userfetch userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.linux.ee/pub/gentoo/distfiles/ http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/" LANG="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" LINGUAS="en et en_GB en_US de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 apache2 arts bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo cdr cjk cli cracklib crypt cups dbus directfb doc dri dvd dvdr dvdread emboss encode evo fam fbcon ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gdbm gif gmp gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 hal hardened iconv imagemagick imlib ipv6 isdnlog jbig jpeg jpeg2k kde lcms libnotify mad midi mikmod mmap mmx mng mp3 mpeg mudflap multilib mysql ncurses nptl nptlonly ogg openal opengl openmp pam pcre pdf perl pic png ppds pppd python qt3 qt3support qt4 quicktime readline reflection samba sdl session sndfile speex spell spl sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd theora threads tiff truetype unicode usb vhosts vorbis x264 xattr xinerama xml xorg xprint xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" ALSA_CARDS="via82xx virmidi" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias asis auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_default authn_file authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config log_forensic logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" APACHE2_MPMS="worker" CAMERAS="canon" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en et en_GB en_US de" LIRC_DEVICES="irdeo" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="ati radeon nv vesa fbdev vga" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
fyi new upstream release available
This is still an issue in the newest upstream release (2008.08.09) which is in Portage since 2008-08-31. Please contact upstream to fix this bug.
I'm taking it under consideration.
Ok, sent an email to this person: http://sourceforge.net/users/rg3/ Hopefully its the right one, because youtube-dl does not seem to have any direct instructions on how to report bugs, nor could I find any credible contact information.
FYI, this bug has been fixed with version 2008.09.20, which is now available in Portage.
