When I try to download videos from videolectures.net the following error occurs:

This might be a problem related to videolectures.net admins changing things in their website.

Closed by 0d93378. This should be fixed in youtube-dl versions 2015.02.17.2 and newer. Refer to our FAQ if you need help updating. Thanks for the report.
