Hi,

Thanks for the project and keep up the great work!

You are running an outdated version, it works fine with 2014.12.06.1. Please read our FAQ for updating.

If it still doesn't work with the last version, post the verbose output again and we will reopen the issue.

Also, if you are using the --max-quality option in order to get the best quality - don't do that, as youtube-dl will get the best quality by default. The --max-quality option limits the maximum quality that can be downloaded.
