Description

Quite a few people reported this issue 14 hours ago, but they've all been closed and marked as either Solved or Duplicate. Does the update take a while because it's definitely still broken for me on the latest version youtube-dl is up-to-date (2019.06.27).

The fix (f7a147e) is 14 hours old. You have to wait for a new release, or apply the patch yourself.

@mattjis Thanks for putting this up. I was wondering when/where this was addressed after I put up my own duplicate issue unintentionally.

you can use homebrew to get this fix working right now with:

brew uninstall youtube-dl && brew install youtube-dl --HEAD
