Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I followed #11572 & the post by MacCamintosh worked for many videos that I just downloaded. But I wanted to download the premium video, I seen the similar error about this issue. But it doesn't fix it. Thanks

[Amuyea]

sudo chown -R $USER:admin /usr/local
brew link rtmpdump

Will fix it
