clive for lenny was giving me some strange problems. Try installing clive from backports. That works fine. http://backports.debian.org/Instructions/ I normally use clive to download the youtube url as a .flv and then recode it with ffmpeg.

Looks like youtube-dl would do this.Try this easy recipe: clive http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FwDYbNIHyN0 [wait for arrival] mplayer youtube_FwDYbNIHyN0.flv I use "cclive" for this purpose, and it works. However, "cclive" is not avaialable in Lenny as far as I can tell. "clive" is available for Lenny, and should behave in the same way. However, I can not vouch for it because it's not the one I use. Hope this helps, Phil |
