I'm having the exact same experience with the 1.9.2-beta release version.

My youtube section has:

plugin.activate('video.youtube')
YOUTUBE_DIR = "/home/lroom/.freevo/tmp/"
YOUTUBE_DL = "/usr/bin/youtube-dl"

room# which youtube-dl
/usr/bin/youtube-dl

room#  youtube-dl -v
2010.10.03

When I select a video to play, the OSD has information about the cache getting
loaded, then it simply stops and returns to the youtube listing without any play.

My .freevo/tmp directory is empty.

I went to youtube manually and picked some video.  
I then try this:

lroom# youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQqQ-Kcjowg'
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] xQqQ-Kcjowg: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] xQqQ-Kcjowg: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] xQqQ-Kcjowg: Extracting video information
ERROR: unable to download video (format may not be available)

Next, I try get_flash_videos as below, and I can download the video:

get_flash_videos 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQqQ-Kcjowg'

Done. Saved 216942808 bytes to Rental-Car_Olympics__-_Car_and_Driver.mp4

mplayer plays the mp4 file just fine.

I then tried the same thing on an ubuntu machine which has a difference youtube-dl version.
With ubuntu version, I was able to download properly.

jim> youtube-dl -v
2010.12.09

I then downloaded the latest version of youtube-dl from http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/download.html
and installed in my freevo box.

lroom# /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -v

2011.02.25c

Now it works :-)

So, it appears that something might be wrong with youtube-dl versions.

Thanks,

Jim
