Yes, but using version 2021.12.17b.

youtube-dl.conf and no other parameters used:
Code:

What's the easiest way to edit youtube-dl.conf?
I just tried editing /etc/youtube-dl.conf using vi but the filesystem was readonly so I couldn't save my changes

Did you still have the config file open for edit?

Also it dosn't look as though you have executed the comemnd the same as I do. I did not put anything additional in the "Process options" field. I left the "Process options" field blank.

I did close the config file before re-running the job, and I left the 'Process options' field empty

Is this a 15-minute argument?

Hi /df.
Not an argument at all. Just that I don't see where the "-F" comes from in post #25 that I mistook for a parameter entered on the screen.

"[debug] Command-line args: [u'-v', u'-F', u'https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p0cgqlv1/big-oil-\n\nv-the-world-series-1-1-denial'] '"

Also I could reproduce the post #25 error message by keeping the config file open, bit I am aware just because it can be reproduced one was does not mean that was the cause.
 
Hmmm...I just tried it using your config options (as posted above), but got this:

The log shows the URL being passed in yet by the second line of the extractor
Code: 
        webpage = self._download_webpage(url, group_id, 'Downloading video page')
when that call has passed the URL into the urllib2 library the associated request object has no host.

This is presumably because there are unwanted \n(newline) characters in the URL as the same error is shown in a command-line run of the command if you get the quoting of the newlines right.

-F aka --list-formats means "list the formats available but don't pick one and download it". Easiest to use at the command line.

Yes, which is why I noticed it.
Ian Manning was attempting to download the file not list the choices for download. Also Ian Manning has stated that he did not add any extra parameters and therefore where has the "-F" come from?
 
Waffle waffle banter waffle.
The reason why you are now getting that odd error in python is because you are using an incorrect URL.

And your one has some other characters just after the 'big-oil-' bit.

Although that doesn't explain your original problem which I assume had the correct URL, however it may be worth uninstalling your youtube-dl and install the latest one with same version number but has 'b' suffix. (When uninstalling, backup or take note your config file /mod/etc/youtube-dl.conf because it may get deleted.)

I can also download that programme using youtube-dl with similar settings as @Luke above (standard ADSL broadband in case it makes a difference).

I think what's happened there is an intermediate copy&paste operation has been used to "store" the URL in a text editor of some kind, which has unwittingly inserted a line break.

@Ian Manning: your run in post 25 was invalidated by the inclusion of \n (newline) characters embedded in the URL string.
 
Also on my humax it seems to cope with those escape newline characters fine

My earlier download used -f "best[height<=?576][fps<=?60]" which produced an output file of 1.22GiB.
I am trying again, but with -f "best[height<=?1080][fps<=?60]" which is currently running and will take a while on my (slow) broadband.
Update:
Both downloads completed fine and playback ok.
The first was 1.22GB, 960x540.
The second 2.16GiB, 1280x720.

It may be I am not sure as I don't get the same python errors as @Ian Manning, eg

The log shows the URL being passed in yet by the second line of the extractor
Code: 
        webpage = self._download_webpage(url, group_id, 'Downloading video page')
when that call has passed the URL into the urllib2 library the associated request object has no host.

This is presumably because there are unwanted \n(newline) characters in the URL as the same error is shown in a command-line run of the command if you get the quoting of the newlines right.
