docker-youtube-dl's Issues

youtube-dl outputs warning about .cache folder not being writable

I just checked the log-output and found this log-line in every youtube-dl call:

WARNING: Writing cache to u'/.cache/youtube-dl/youtube-sigfuncs/js_vflpGF_3J_40.43.json' failed: Traceback (most recent call last):

Can we ignore this or should we mount some writable location to /.cache ?

README.md talks about PhantomJS?

Read the second heading in README.md

Update Container

Any way you can kick off a rebuild for this container? The one on the Docker Hub uses an old version of youtube-dl.

If I clone and build the container myself it works fine, but it'd be nice to just have a working one on Docker Hub.

Thanks,
Zak
