Update to a more recent version: sudo youtube-dl -U, it's working with the latest versions.
Thanks for the report, if you update and still have the problem, comment here and I'll reopen the issue.

[mafrosis]

Thanks. I'd made the assumption PyPi would be up to date with the latest version - is PyPi not to be used? Is there a reason Pypi can't be used?

[mafrosis]

Huh, just checked PyPi and it has a more recent version than my report. I'll double check this when I'm back on my dev machine.. Apologies if I'm mistaken!
