Which in turn gives the token issue lots of users are reporting, could there be an issue in the pip package?

Expected the 2019.04.24 version.......

Most likely you have several instances of youtube-dl installed.

No there are no other versions installed, don't close the issue so quickly.

I think this could be the reason so many people report on the token issue, as upgrading using pip installs the wrong version.

$ sudo find / -xdev -iname youtube-dl
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

$ /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl --version
2019.01.23

$ sudo rm /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

$ sudo pip3 install youtube_dl -U --force --no-cache
