This problem has been fixed in the latest release of youtube-dl
. To install the latest release, you should use pip
to update it as your package manager might not be providing the latest updated release. To update it using pip
, use this command:
sudo pip install -U youtube-dl
After the update, everything works normal. I got this info after filing a bug-report here: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/5785

are here: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#how-do-i-update-youtube-dl
