What is this?

juancri · 2014-09-17T19:41:22Z

Technically, a terrible bug report :)

Please make sure you're using the latest version. If you still have problems, please post the full output of youtube-dl using the --verbose flag. Thank you!

phihag · 2014-09-17T21:59:46Z

Can you see YouTube videos in your webbrowser? And as @juancri said, please include the full output of youtube-dl when called with --verbose.

I've got the same problem:

@amio:

Please make sure you're using the latest version.

Youtube-dl has been updated several times in the last 15 days, and there's no sense fixing a bug on an old version. You can update with youtube-dl -U if you installed using the regular install procedure (or update through your package manager if you installed it that way).

amio · 2014-11-15T19:28:34Z

Just updated, but the problem still

clampak · 2014-11-17T04:43:32Z

Works for me in version 2014.11.16.

amio · 2014-11-17T08:18:27Z

After update It works now 👍

And it seems the brew package needs an update, for now it still on version 2014.09.12，or add a hint after brew install youtube-dl to remind user updating with sudo youtube-dl -U should be good too.

iggyvolz · 2014-11-17T20:11:25Z

@amio - youtube-dl -U is disabled with homebrew due to homebrew policies. You should be able to run brew update && brew upgrade (or brew update && brew upgrade youtube-dl if that's the only package you want to update) to upgrade youtube-dl. If you're seeing an old version even after upgrading, you should report that as a bug to homebrew.

amio · 2014-11-18T04:17:10Z

Ooops, sorry I forgot the brew update :P

bmarons · 2014-11-20T03:36:41Z

I've confirmed that youtube-dl --verbose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3RNB1jjbC8 works on Darwin with 2018.09.01.
