Unable to download playlist using the youtube-dl command.

[fussili]

Hi... I keep getting this error 'ERROR: unable to download video webpage: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>'
When I try the following
youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm4W7_iX_v4OMSgc8xowC2h70s-unJKCp"
Can you please help?

Thanks in advance!

Please post the full output you get when running youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLm4W7_iX_v4OMSgc8xowC2h70s-unJKCp" --verbose.

Having done -verbose, it showed a proxy error which I corrected. Now when I use the command, I am getting a keyerror as below:

youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO6XJSaFYzk&list=PLm4W7_iX_v4NqPUjceOGd-OKNVO4c_cPD" --verbose

You are using a (quite) outdated version, run sudo youtube-dl -U to upgrade, you can also use your package manager, but the version provided may be too old.
If you can reproduce the problem with the last version (2014.06.02 or higher), please post the verbose output and we will reopen the issue.
