+.SH FAQ
+.SS Can you please put the \-b option back?
+.PP
+Most people asking this question are not aware that youtube\-dl now
+defaults to downloading the highest available quality as reported by
+YouTube, which will be 1080p or 720p in some cases, so you no longer
+need the \f[C]\-b\f[] option.
+For some specific videos, maybe YouTube does not report them to be
+available in a specific high quality format you\[aq]re interested in.
+In that case, simply request it with the \f[C]\-f\f[] option and
+youtube\-dl will try to download it.
+.SS I get HTTP error 402 when trying to download a video. What\[aq]s
+this?
+.PP
+Apparently YouTube requires you to pass a CAPTCHA test if you download
+too much.
+We\[aq]re considering to provide a way to let you solve the
+CAPTCHA (https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/154), but at the
+moment, your best course of action is pointing a webbrowser to the
+youtube URL, solving the CAPTCHA, and restart youtube\-dl.
+.SS I have downloaded a video but how can I play it?
+.PP
+Once the video is fully downloaded, use any video player, such as
+vlc (http://www.videolan.org) or mplayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/).
+.SS The links provided by youtube\-dl \-g are not working anymore
+.PP
+The URLs youtube\-dl outputs require the downloader to have the correct
+cookies.
+Use the \f[C]\-\-cookies\f[] option to write the required cookies into a
+file, and advise your downloader to read cookies from that file.
+Some sites also require a common user agent to be used, use
+\f[C]\-\-dump\-user\-agent\f[] to see the one in use by youtube\-dl.
+.SS ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info
+.PP
+youtube has switched to a new video info format in July 2011 which is
+not supported by old versions of youtube\-dl.
+You can update youtube\-dl with \f[C]sudo\ youtube\-dl\ \-\-update\f[].
+.SS ERROR: unable to download video
+.PP
+youtube requires an additional signature since September 2012 which is
+not supported by old versions of youtube\-dl.

+Please update to Python 2.6 or 2.7.

+.PP
+Since June 2012 (#342) youtube\-dl is packed as an executable zipfile,
+simply unzip it (might need renaming to \f[C]youtube\-dl.zip\f[] first
+on some systems) or clone the git repository, as laid out above.
