[Bug 485442] [NEW] Youtube-dl can't find video when using the -t option

[Peter Shultz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: youtube-dl

(Using version 2008.03.22 in Ubuntu Karmic) Youtube-dl is no longer able
to extract the title information using the -t option. It worked fine
until around the time of Karmic's release, but now it fails for every
video I try.

Here's what I see:
$ youtube-dl -t http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zegtH-acXE
Retrieving video webpage... done.
Extracting video title... failed.
Error: unable to extract video title.
Try again several times. It may be a temporary problem.
Other typical problems:

* Video no longer exists.
* Video requires age confirmation but you did not provide an account.
* You provided the account data, but it is not valid.
* The connection was cut suddenly for some reason.
* YouTube changed their system, and the program no longer works.

Try to confirm you are able to view the video using a web browser.
Use the same video URL and account information, if needed, with this program.
When using a proxy, make sure http_proxy has http://host:port format.
Try again several times and contact me if the problem persists.
