Comment 12 for bug 609545

I don't know what version is being used in Debian, but I'm running 10.10 and this bug (or a similar one) is recurring... I remember this was fixed back in July for 10.10 and that it had not been merged with 10.04 yet, but I'm having a similar problem again.

Here are some outputs:

lsb_release -rd

ERROR: unable to download video (format may not be available)

I've tried to download a number of different videos and I always get this same error message. Notice that the error message is similar, but subtly different, from the one I was getting in July.

Again, I have ascertained that the video works in the browser (if you are looking for good music, I think you should check out the youtube link...)

Let me know if I can help in any way.
