Most likely, you are running an outdated version of youtube-dl. The YouTube player changed on November 13th, 2014, so you'll need youtube-dl 2014.11.13 or newer to download all YouTube videos. See our FAQ on how to update.

Now, if you are using 2014.11.13 or newer (add the -v option to your command line to find out), please post the output you get with -v and we will reopen this issue. Thanks!
