youtube-dl downloads signature issue #10609
Comments
I guess you're using ubuntu/debian packages. Remove it from apt/apt-get/aptitude and check installation instructions. The latest version is 2016.09.08. |
|
Look at the screen-shot it is working fine after upgrade . |
|
Thanks @himanshuraja for kind help. Just to notice: in general it's not recommended to run youtube-dl as root. Nobody knows whether its codes are safe or not :) |
|
Yeah I really Appreciate your kind suggestion ,but I was going to replace ubuntu with another distro ,so some risk can be taken :) anyhow thanks for your kind notification @yan12125 , |
