Trying to download https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYEfJhkPK7o I see:
Error: Couldn't download URL: 301 Moved Permanently at
/usr/share/perl5/FlashVideo/Site/Youtube.pm line 392.
Couldn't extract Flash movie URL. This site may need specific support adding,
or fixing.
Please confirm the site is using Flash video and if you have Flash available
check that the URL really works(!).
Check for updates by running: /usr/bin/get_flash_videos --update
If the latest version does not support this please open a bug
at http://code.google.com/p/get-flash-videos/ making sure you include
the output with --debug enabled. Alternatively, fix it yourself and send us
a pull request on Github: https://github.com/monsieurvideo/get-flash-videos
Couldn't download any videos.
The full debug output is attached.

I have seen some youtube URLs failing on a 301 redirect that is empty.
However,if I try a second time, they often work. Debug example attached. Not
sure if there is a youtube or a get_flash_video problem.

This sporatic 301 return problem is happenning all the time now. I find I have
to retry at once and usual several times before a successful download,
Is the "301 text/html; charset=utf-8 (0): UTF8 on, ASCII, 0 characters 0 bytes"
a bougus return with 0 bytes?
Otherwise I would expect get_flash_video to redirect to the new URL

Patched Youtube.pm sub verify_age to accept both 301 and 302 redirects.
Line 382 now looks like:
if ($browser->response->code == 301 || $browser->response->code == 302) {
