Description ta2002 2011-04-10 01:06:51 UTC
New version (actually fixes a very annoying problem).

Reproducible: Always
Comment 1 ta2002 2011-08-04 10:30:16 UTC
Just saw this in portage, but in a case of ironic timing, it (including all previous versions) no longer works.

The facts:

Youtube changed their backend so that youtube-dl no longer works (see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/135 for details).

Someone has committed a patch (see 
https://github.com/phihag/youtube-dl/commit/0ac22e4f5a652f1b470f9daff06c1361e8f93c16 for information about the patch) to a private fork (see 
https://raw.github.com/phihag/youtube-dl/master/youtube-dl for the latest version of the fork).

The owner of youtube-dl has not touched it in over four months. It is unclear to me if and when the fix will get pulled back to the master branch and a release made from the master branch.

I don't what the gentoo policy is for handling this (or how you prefer to handle it if you have discretion), but I am bumping this up to high, since no version currently in the portage tree functions at all (as far as youtube goes). They might as well all be deleted.
