Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output here. Most likely, you'll see that you have an outdated version (YouTube changed their player the day before yesterday, so you'll need 2014.07.25 or newer). Make sure you are using the latest version.

It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager (most likely apt-get, pip or pacman). You can use that package manager to update youtube-dl (you may need to contact the package maintainer though, and request an update).

Alternatively, uninstall the youtube package and follow our manual installation instructions. From then on, you'll be able to update with sudo youtube-dl -U
