Can you elaborate where you searched for this error, and with what terms? We'll add a link there to our FAQs.

Unfortunately I was a tad overzealous posting this bug report and actually found the other reports/FAQ/update instructions almost immediately after. My sincere apologies for the duplicate issue.

[phihag]

No problem. Have a great time using youtube-dl and let us know if you run into any other hurdles!

How can I find "Ubuntu packaging guys"? To update ubuntu package and not getting "Unable to extract OpenGraph title" error? Thanks :)

[caligari87]

Well, in the FAQ there's instructions to uninstall your distribution's packages for youtube-dl, and install manually. Or, you could add the webupd8 PPA, which has up-to-date builds of youtube-dl. That's what I did, so I could update automatically instead of needing to update manually.

@luckylooke I've updated the corresponding section of our FAQs with URLs where you can contact the Ubuntu packaging team.

Thanks @caligari87 your webupd8 PPA helped to update the package. Now it works correctly.
Thanks @phihag for link, I have also contacted Ubuntu packagers to make update ;)

Problem solved, yeeey! :)
