This is hrev49522.
I haven't used Ubertuber for some time, and now it crashes. That is,
python crashes actually, that's used with the youtube-dl script. See
attachment, note the non-UTF8 charcters in line 316.
In Ubertuber I string together a little shell command script that is then
executed via {{{ system(command->String()); }}}.
The failing youtube-dl line is:
{{{
youtube-dl --continue --restrict-filenames --no-part --no-cache-dir
--format best %URL% ;
}}}
Doing the same in Terminal directly works!
On IRC bbjimmy IIRC reported a similar issue with using "ls" from his app.
His workaround was to use "ls > /dev/null" (though I don't see how that
can work...). Anyway, it doesn't work for me and youtube-dl.
If I comment out the above line that is supposed to download a video clip,
there's no crash. Even though there are other invocations of youtube-dl,
like
{{{
youtube-dl --get-title %URL% 2>&1 | tail -n 1
}}}
There are also a whole lot of other script commands involved that don't
have a problem, see

here for example]
