@woprandi Update to the last version: sudo youtube-dl -U

[woprandi]

I already have the latest version I guess (upgraded today although)
youtube-dl --version
2013.07.08.1
sudo youtube-dl -U
It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball. Please use that to update.

[jaimeMF]

@woprandi current version is 2013.07.10 (3 hours ago), how did you install youtube-dl?

[woprandi]

@jaimeMF With my package manager (ArchLinux), this version is the lastest on the official repository since Monday. But if the latest version fixes the problem, I can wait ;)

[jaimeMF]

@woprandi You can manually install it: http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/download.html

[woprandi]

@jaimeMF I sent a message to package maintener to upgrade official package on Arch repository.

[woprandi]

I got new version (2013.07.10) and i still have the same errror

@woprandi There has been a new change in Youtube, in the new version (2013.07.12) it's fixed

[woprandi]

It works now, thanks !

[jaimeMF]

@sivakov I'm closing this, since this probably was an error withYoutube signatures, update to the new version and if you have any problem, open a new issue.
