On that video, I see an error message Video is Unavailable, so I can't test it. However, I've fixed the bug you've seen by making the uploader field optional. Can you retry with youtube-dl 2013.11.25?

[seojoohyun]

Download is working now, thanks.
Subtitles don't seem to be working though. I tried --write-srt, --write-sub, and -list-subs, all gave similar results.

Oops, that's an error of mine, sorry. Fixed in youtube-dl 2013.11.25.1 .

You can use --list-subs or --write-sub now. --write-srt is deprecated and should not be used anymore.

Awesome... thanks so much.
