wget insteed of CURL for youtube downloading

Hi,

I am trying to use wget youtube video downloading insteed of CURL but can`t get luck and i am not sure why
Youtube video download link is:

http://o-o.preferred.delta-gyd1.v3.lscache1.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?sparams=id%2Cexpire%2Cip%2Cipbits%2Citag%2Csource%2Calgorithm%2Cburst%2Cfactor%2Ccp&fexp=912206%2C910017%2C913601&algorithm=throttle-factor&itag=34&ip=93.0.0.0&burst=40&sver=3&signature=44D7708A2C5A655F5B52C7CBDBE41BA86A7614CF.35B0FBD4C867E34D8E418934D65201DB615AE5A3&source=youtube&expire=1322839095&key=yt1&ipbits=8&factor=1.25&cp=U0hRR1hOV19OT0NOMV9QSEFBOnBhV25Rb1ZoN2No&id=8381aa4956df3469

Code (markup):

My corking CURL cope is:

		$ch = curl_init();
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $ytubeurl);
		$fp = fopen($filename, 'w');
		curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FILE, $fp);
		curl_exec ($ch);
		curl_close ($ch);
		fclose($fp);

PHP:

And my new wget not working code is:

echo system("wget $ytubeurl -O $filename");

PHP:

Let me know what do youtube uses to prevent direct downloading by wget, I am thinking on youtube uses session downloading not sure.

 

I'd test 2 things...

- Can you use wget directly via the command line. i.e. ssh?
- Does your wget call within php work for other sites?

 

it is part of script, it is on php I can`t use SSH here.

 

I'm on about to test. If you can run the same wget directly via the command line (and get the file) then it's an issue with the php code rather than wget on youtube. Trying to eliminate all possible causes before assuming it's as a result of youtube blocking it.

 

You url doesn't work in a browser either....

"HTTP Error 403 (Forbidden): The server refused to fulfill the request."

Do you need to supply authentication info?
