Bug 25208

Its Valid for Mageia 7 also, update to latest version fix the issue

Source RPM: ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/6/SRPMS/core/release/youtube-dl-2017.05.29-1.mga6.src.rpm => youtube-dl-2019.07.16-1.mga6
Summary: Youtube-dl cannot extract video title any more (after google modifed something) => Youtube-dl need be updated to 2019.07.30
Whiteboard: (none) => MGA7TOO

Seems to be the same in MGA7:

ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/distrib/7/SRPMS/core/updates/youtube-dl-2019.07.16-1.mga7.src.rpm

If core/updates holds the most recent version, then this one was released BEFORE google made the modification around 3 days ago.

Maybe we could do a curl to the related html page and sed / grep the title for use as file name?

There is an extensive section at the bottom of the manual page that starts,

BUGS
       Bugs and suggestions  should  be  reported  at:  <https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues>.

... and includes,

Are you using the latest version?
       Before  reporting  any  issue,  type  youtube-dl -U.   This  should report that you're
       up-to-date.  About 20% of the reports we receive are already fixed, but people are us‐
       ing outdated versions.  This goes for feature requests as well.

.....................

At the issues url, following the search syntax help, I searched on `is:issue Unable to extract video title in:title` and that yielded:  https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=is%3Aissue+Unable+to+extract+video+title+in%3Atitle

There are multiple recent results and it seems this issue is resolved.  I had not hit the issue until just now and first tried, as root, `youtube-dl -U`, which got the title to download on the video I was trying.

This is about the third time some issue was resolved by upgrading the program with -U in my experience.  First, searching the issue at the bug url gave me an idea of the progress and when to expect the fix as the bug got closed.

It seems cumbersome to likely have these issues repeatedly showing up @ bugs.mageia.org  Not many will read the package info, I suspect, but adding something about this to it might help.

Hard to keep up with this one. Validating, before it too is out-of-date. Advisory in Comment 4.
