Thanks for the report. This issue seems to be specific to Python 3. If you really need it, you might try running youtube-dl with Python 2 (2.6 or 2.7), until it is resolved, I think it should work (at least for this issue).

Sorry, my bad. Should work in next version. Thanks for the report.

Hey @naglis, feel free to fix if you catch anyone's bugs.

[ianuxfr]

Indeed it works with 2014.09.22.1 build against python 2. I will wait for f7d159c to be included in the next release to see if it works with python 3.

I've just tested 2014.09.24.1 and it works with python 3. Great job!
