### Description of your *issue*, suggested solution and other information

Pluralsight worked fine with this command line a few weeks ago, but I guess the JSON structure has changed.  I now get the above error.  I have an individual account (so it isn't the issue I saw elsewhere in the log where people were trying free and corporate accounts).  The works fine for other purposes, and I've used this exact commandline successfully in the past.  

Many thanks!

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read this FAQ entry if you have troubles updating.

Apologies. The one in my 'path' was updated but not the explicit one I called in the command line. Sorry for wasting your time :(
