When trying the application on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhekXBbOo_Q

youtube-dl --version
2014.07.21
I get the following error:

; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update.

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. YouTube changed their player on 2014-07-25, so you'll need at least youtube-dl version 2014.07.25 (or newer).

It looks like you installed youtube-dl with a package manager (something like apt-get, or pip). 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.
