Hi.
I've had the same problem and solved it. Apparently youtube changed its
javascript code again.
The patch is attached, it applies to the debian source-package in lenny
(ver. 0.4.18-1).
i.e.:
apt-get builddep clive
apt-get source clive
patch -p0 -i clive_0.4.18.patch
cd clive-0.4.18
dpkg-buildpackage
[disclaimer: I didn't read the full source, so I patched both files
parse.py and parse.py.in, without knowing which one would be the
important one.]
