Unable to extract title

[qh]

Recently I've been getting the error Unable to extract title. Below is an example with a playlist, but it happened on individual files as well.

$ alias yt
alias yt='youtube-dl --title --ignore-errors'
$ yt https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC800B9699743BD19

This has been fixed in more recent versions (2014.03.12 works fine), it seems you have installed youtube-dl with your package manager or pip, use the one you used to upgrade or install it manually.
Thanks for the report.
