error when running without stderr (and/or stdout)?

hi!

i'm running youtube-dl from cron but recently, it started to fail.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/bin/youtube-dl", line 9, in
load_entry_point('youtube-dl==2013.11.26', 'console_scripts', 'youtube-dl')()
File "/usr/lib/python3.3/site-packages/youtube_dl/init.py", line 694, in main

if self.params.get('logger'):
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get'

...when run from terminal, everything works fine.

Duplicate of #1840. Update to youtube-dl 2013.11.28 or newer. You may also want to set the LC_ALL environment variable to something sensible (like en_US.UTF-8). This will fix this error, and you will get way better filenames.
