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

Please add perl-net-http to dependencies.

trizen commented on 2012-01-18 18:04 (UTC)

Updated!

trizen commented on 2012-01-15 08:48 (UTC)

I will release a new version of youtube-viewer in the next few days and I'll also add those dependencies in the PKGBUILD. Thank you guys!

I have had also problem with running youtube-viewer. After installation perl-http-message and also perl-lwp-protocol-https package everything works. The package perl-http-message is no more dependency for perl-libwww package. When I have had only installed perl-http-message package I had one line error: Can't use an undefined value as a SCALAR reference at /usr/bin/youtube-viewer line 1494. Best regards.

trizen commented on 2012-01-15 06:27 (UTC)

'perl-http-message' should be a dependence of 'perl-libwww' (at least it was. (Arch Linux bug?)) and 'perl-lwp-protocol-https' is optional. Your error is strange... Please run it in debug mode (youtube-viewer --debug) and copy-paste here the URL which appears. Thanks. Also reinstalling the youtube-viewer may fix the problem...

I'm wondering why all these packages are not part of the dependencies.

Try to install 'perl-lwp-protocol-https'

orschiro commented on 2012-01-14 22:40 (UTC)

Thanks. The error is gone but I do not get any videos to play. [/home/robert]$ youtube-viewer salixos hd (x_x) No video results! =>> Insert an YouTube URL or search something... > ^C Regardless of the keywords I use I do not get any video results. Regards

trizen commented on 2012-01-14 08:19 (UTC)

@orschiro - 'cpan HTTP::Request' or 'pacman -S perl-http-message' should fix the problem.

orschiro commented on 2012-01-14 08:10 (UTC)

I receive the following error.
