You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. YouTube changed their playlists in April 2014 and their player afterwards, so we recommend at least youtube-dl version 2014.07.25.

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.
