A workaround would be to set in the config-file, force_fallback => 1, which will use yt-dlp to extract the video URLs.

youtube-viewer doesn't work with perl-5.16 Error ocurred while parsing http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/GCzaZWWT8Ys?v=2 Perl API version v5.14.0 of XML::Fast does not match v5.16.0 at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/XSLoader.pm line 92, <FIN> line 1. Compilation failed in require at /usr/share/perl5/core_perl/autouse.pm line 53, <FIN> line 1. Downgrading to 5.14 works for now!

Thanks, Trizen, I've just deleted youtube-viewer.conf, and it started to work again. Don't know how did I miss that... :)

trizen commented on 2012-02-15 16:57 (UTC)

Make sure that everything is ok in ~/.config/youtube-viewer/youtube-viewer.conf Also, running it in '--debug' mode may help...

daimonion commented on 2012-02-15 16:48 (UTC)

It stopped working suddenly (doesn't play a video), but it can download a flv file. How can I debug it?

@trizen It works! Thank you so much!

trizen commented on 2012-02-15 09:40 (UTC)

Add 'nolirc=yes' to ~/.mplayer/config

felixonmars commented on 2012-02-15 03:25 (UTC)
