@mightydonbriggs you are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating.

@SmileDrug I'm closing this due to lack of context. Feel free to open a new issue with sufficient info if you can reproduce this with the latest version.

[mightydonbriggs]

I am using the version that I just installed today from via the apt-get, and then did an update on. But I will down the latest from your site and install that.

I am using the version that I just installed this morning via apt-get,
and I did an update. However, I will download the latest version from
your site and install it. Thank you guys for a wonderful tool.
