Hi, I'm using mpsyt player. Previously it worked well, however some time ago the next issue appeared. When I try to search for 'paganini' text string, mpsyt crashes with the next log:

41   Violin Concerto No. 2 in B Minor, Op. 7, MS 48: II. Adagio  07:17
42   Caprice No. 16                        01:42

Please describe why did you close the issue:
Why 'incomplete'?
Why did you marked it as 'outdated-version' ? youtube-dl version in the log is 2019.04.01

Thanks

1. You're using an outdated version from mpsyt.
2. You must provide complete verbose log of failing run not youtube-dl -v.
