Running into the https issue and inspired by kokoko3k's workaround:
youtube-dl -g Youtube_URL_here | mplayer $(sed 's/https/http/')
Returns with only 403 errors, no successful video streams. Seems like most Youtube videos are now returning https URLs and as kokoko3k mentioned, mplayer offers no SSL support (and probably won't any time soon). As it is, this effectively breaks youtube-dl for mplayer streaming, which I would imagine is/was a popular use for the program.
Is there some way to fix this issue? It has been progressing over the past few weeks; initially you could just re-run the program until Youtube would return an non-https URL, but now that no longer works.
