Yes... There is a python script out there that will do it. Just grab python and the script and it works.

I think I had to edit it, because the python that is downloaded didn't have a particular module installed, and I didn't want to go find it, but it was pretty easy.

Just comment out the very first line of code so that it looks like this:

#import getpass

For running the actual script you need to have xterm installed. Place the youtube-dl on your inner sd-card. Open the terminal and run these commands:

cd /media/mmc2
chmod +x youtube-dl (you only need to run this once)
./youtube-dl "URL_OF_VIDEO"

or if the video needs a login:

./youtube-dl -u your_youtube_username -p your_youtube_password "URL_OF_VIDEO"

Start Mplayer and watch the video.

Another way is to use one of the YouTube download sites.
I use http://www.dlthis.com/ .
Just copy&paste the url and add ".flv" to the filename.
Good luck.
