To get that example to work try: youtube-dl 'http://youtube.com/watch?v=gpIM3nBR2ZA' instead. The quote marks are important, because otherwise the shell will try to interpret the "?" in the URL as a wildcard and try to do wildcard expansion as if it was a filename. It is the shell (not youtube-dl) which gives the error message, when it cannot find any file that matches. This is nothing specific to youtube-dl. It is just the way most shells under Unix work. If you do not want the shell to try to interpret any 'funny' characters in an argument to the command you need to enclose the argument in quote marks. > > I even installed the latest version. > > Do only certain videos work?
