After fiddling around with the source a bit, I found that youtube-dl tries to download the following url:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/feeds/uploads?max-results=50&start-index=1&alt=json
which I think should actually be:
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/BlueXephos/uploads?max-results=50&start-index=1&alt=json

Why don't you just use youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/user/BlueXephos'?
Also do you know which is the version that worked? I think it wasn't intentional.

Okay, I may have been overthinking this. I just pulled those URLs out of Miro, which also stopped working, so I blatantly assumed that Youtube changed their APIs. Originally I used https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference#Searching_for_videos for building my feed URLs, so I assumed that was the only way. Too many assumptions on my part, sorry.
