Soundcloud and Youtube downloading non-functional on latest builds

[korgano]

It worked on both perfectly about a month or so ago, but now it's just erroring out instead of downloading anything. I even updated to the latest version to see if it would solve the problems, but it hasn't solved anything.

Here's my log:

Post the full output of youtube-dl when run with --verbose option.

I figured it out. My legacy settings from a previous build were incompatible with the newest versions, so the program was erroring out in a way that didn't provide any verbose logging. Once I removed the settings, everything started working again.

According to log you are misusing youtube-dl that is clearly stated in log, at least you are specifying wrong format_id with -f in some calls:
ERROR: requested format not available
and incorrectly run it at all in another calls:
Usage: youtube-dl.exe [OPTIONS] URL [URL...]
Since you've figured it out and are not willing to post the verbose log I'm closing this issue.
