is youtube-dl working at present?

[mulber]

Here's a typical output
a@a-Aspire-T180:~$ youtube-dl -t http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zgi8ZrQM6Ow

File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 1406, in
url_map = dict((ud['itag'][0], ud['url'][0] + '&signature=' + ud['sig'][0]) for ud in url_data)
KeyError: 'sig'

Running on ubuntu 12.04 with awesome desktop

Not sure how git hub works or if this is the right place to post or how to look for reply - I got here from the support button on youtube-dl page.

Thanks

It seems you are running an outdated version (If I have interpreted the output right, it's really outdated).
You can update with sudo youtube-dl -U or your package manager (but I don't know how old is the version it would install). If that fails, please install it following the instructions.
If you get the last version and still have the problem, please post the output you get when running youtube-dl 'Zgi8ZrQM6Ow', like:

This is the right place to report errors or ask for new features/site support.
