Video plays it OK in MPlayer

A window opens and immediately closes again. No messages displayed, no file downloaded.

I can replicate the problem but have not found a solution.

The CLI version can download just fine. For example:

Code: Select all

youtube-viewer -d http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9kCotJWcoiE
It also works in interactive mode in the CLI. Start the"youtube-viewer" program and then enter your search string. I used"Install antiX-13". D.O.'s video was the third in the list so I used the command :d=3 and it downloaded.

Again, I don't know why the GUI version doesn't download. The"Play it in a new terminal" option is broken in the same way.
