DNS issue on your side.

[surfmuggle]

I am not aware of any DNS trouble. Any hints what i can do?
@dstftw i changed my dns server but the problem still exist. If i can open the youtube url in the browser why would youtube-dl would have difficuties resolving the same address. The only cause that in can think of is that the dns server treats the client "youtube-dl" diffferently than my browser.

• Are you aware that dns-providers are treating youtube-dl differently?
