The version requirements are fine, so i'm not sure which deps i'm missing.

If you're a programmer I got this on Google:

Anyway, there are so many ways to download YouTube videos nowadays, do you need Elltube for some reason?

I do have cclive with the abby frontend, but this has been playing up, hence my reverting back to elltube -- an app i'm familiar with having used it in Mandriva long ago.

The above error I remember getting before in Mandi too, but overcame it by installing some python dep, although obv. not those cited above.

And I just like elltube, it's no more simple than this really.

You can use
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/201/"
linktext was:"DownThemAll"
====================================
Iceweasel extension or
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========
url was:"https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/seamonkey/addon/3006/"
linktext was:"Video DownloadHelper"
====================================
for Iceweaasel/Iceape.

I installed today DownThemAll beta in Iceweasel to have a download manager (the browser's built-in one gets 100% of the band and leaves nothing for browsing) and I'm just starting with it but it seems to be great.

- Just adding here that
========= SCRAPER REMOVED AN EMBEDDED LINK HERE ===========

linktext was:"FlashGot"
====================================
works with Iceape and it's compatible with some external download managers. But lagopus knows about Python (see below) and may help with getting Elltube to work.

Stuart

Check if the command ffmpeg is installed and in the path.

Try:

$ ffmpeg -versions

This command should return the list of available codecs.

You can also run elltube.py with the verbose option:

$ elltube.py -v

Hope this will help

I'm afraid this output makes little sense to me, you've any idea lagopus?
