First of all, thank you for the report. Can you give us the complete output you get when you add --verbose? It should start with something along the lines of [debug] System config: [].

Seeing the exact same error, assuming it's the same bug, here's a --verbose report: https://gist.github.com/shimaore/ec2482ae65c70b503902

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl.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