UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ytplayer_config' referenced before assignment

Hi guys, and thanks for a great tool. I was downloading a video from youtube and got the following:

WARNING: unable to extract uploader nickname

The url was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3vxGVgdbGQ.

I didn't have an issue with that URL. At any rate, you should post the complete output using the -verbose option, not just the warnings/errors.

I'm closing the issue, we'll reopen if you post the output of youtube-dl --verbose 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3vxGVgdbGQ'

Make sure you are using the last version (see the update instructions in the README).
