Maybe youtube has very recently changed something, but I had to insert the following at line 821 of /opt/zoutube/zoutube in order for zoutube to work

Code:
        fmt = 18

Woops, I just downloaded the latest, and I had to comment out line 621 before adding my above hack. I'm guessing something similar would also work for downloads.

Could you please paste a before and after of the section in question, I was unsure as to if I was at the correct place.

Thanks.

Nice, but my zoutube file has only 681 lines so that advice does not help me very much

Sure, and my line number was wrong for the newer version.

Starting at line 660 of the newer version of /opt/zoutube/zoutube, the differences with overlap are:

before:

Code:
    def on_play_clicked(self, button):
        fmt = YouTube.string_to_format(self.format_picker.get_value())
        url = "%s&fmt=%d" % (self.url, fmt)
        self.play_url(url)

    def on_download_clicked(self, button):
        fmt = YouTube.string_to_format(self.format_picker.get_value())
        url = "%s&fmt=%d" % (self.url, fmt)
after:

Code:
    def on_play_clicked(self, button):
        #fmt = YouTube.string_to_format(self.format_picker.get_value())
        fmt = 18
        url = "%s&fmt=%d" % (self.url, fmt)
        self.play_url(url)

    def on_download_clicked(self, button):
        #fmt = YouTube.string_to_format(self.format_picker.get_value())
        fmt = 18
        url = "%s&fmt=%d" % (self.url, fmt)
This is a hack just to get things working. I haven't tested downloading, sorry.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but fmt is a quality setting so this is not really a robust fix.

Good to hear. Thanks.

True, from a quick glance at the code, I think zoutube tries to determine all available formats for a particular video by parsing the actual html page of that video. It seems that youtube changed something, and that list of formats was coming up empty. Format 18 (480x270 ?) was the only one that worked for me at the time.

Here's some format information I found inside the zoutube program.

Code:
        formats = {
            22: "HD Quality",
            35: "High Quality",
            34: "Reasonable Quality",
            18: "Good Quality",
            5: "Bad Quality" }
Code:
        format_priorities = [
                '22/2000000/9/0/115', # 1280x720
                '35/640000/9/0/115',  # 640x360
                '18/512000/9/0/115',  # 480x270
                '34/0/9/0/115',       # 320x180
                '5/0/7/0/0',          # 320x180
        ]
