"Device support" error when using certain settings on a YouTube profile

[joepie91]

Version: latest, 2015.04.17

The alias I have set up on my system:

alias ytdl="youtube-dl --title --continue --retries 4 --write-info-json --write-description --write-thumbnail --write-annotations --all-subs --ignore-errors --merge-output-format mkv -f bestvideo+bestaudio $1"

This works correctly for normal video URLs, but when attempting to use it as ytdl https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOakisland/videos or ytdl https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOakisland (ie. a user profile), the following happens:

This is already fixed in repo but not yet released.
