youtube-dl

[Dazed_75]

Mine shows the same copyright test although the package I got this am from
the ubuntu software center installed
/var/cache/apt/archives/youtube-dl_2012.02.27-1_all.deb.  I get the same
result as Michael although I can certainly play the video directly from the
link included in the command line.

Mike, most programs have an option to display the version.  According to
the youtube-dl man page it should be -v but it does not work.  It reacts as
if you have provided wrong or insufficient parameters.  I would say maybe
look for a different package to download youtube videos which have better
or more uptodate maintenance.  Another option is to volunteer to help with
the maintenance and/or documentation.
