Description
There are two problems with the current YouTube? code:
- youtube-dl no longer accepts the deprecated -b option.
- The URL printed by youtube-dl -g now returns a 403 error unless you access it with the cookies retreived by youtube-dl:
cookiedir="$(mktemp -dt)" url="$(youtube-dl --cookies="$cookiedir/cookies.txt" -q -g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)" mplayer -cookies -cookies-file "$cookiedir/cookies.txt" "$url"
