I lost connectivity before the whole update got through. Will update soon ...

hi @phihag any chance an update is coming?

[phihag]

@jasonrwalters Update is already out, should work just fine now, just forgot to close this issue.

[ghost]

Oh... I still have the old version?

$ ./youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2013.07.23.1)

EDIT -- Thanks I just pulled from the website. Curious why the updater didn't work?

[phihag]

@jasonrwalters Mmm, that looks like a weird bug, maybe a caching proxy server? Can you try again? If the problem persists, can you give me access to the problematic machine, and give me the output of curl http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/update/LATEST_VERSION?

I also have problem with this update. When I have tried to update youtube-dl through pip, pip said that «Requirement already up-to-date». And when I have deleted it and tried to install again, pip downloaded version 2013.07.19

@11xp Those are two completely unrelated problems. Type sudo pip install -U youtube-dl to advise pip to update to the latest version, and it looks like PyPi updates didn't all go through (that should be fixed now).

i Have problem updating youtube-dl via using "youtube-dl -U"
I tried using "sudo pip install --upgrade youtube-dl" but it says command not found
please help..

@Ravinder0201 Your issue is unrelated to this issue entry. Please open a new issue if your problem persists. It looks like you did not install youtube-dl using pip in the first place. I'd bet that you used apt-get. See our FAQ for more information, including the way to update if you are unsatisfied by the version included in the repositories used by apt-get.

[Ravinder0201]

Yes, I did it using apt-get and now i have recently intsalled ubuntu 14.04 LTS and in that too i have installed youtube-dl using apt-get. could you please tell me the difference between installing using apt-get and pip. and now if i want to do it using pip, how can i do it.

[phihag]

If you want to use pip you need to install pip, for example with sudo apt-get install python-pip.
