Errors downloading playlists on youtube

[brunofpmiranda]

Hi,

I'm always receiving the following error message when I try to download a playlist on youtube. Have tryed with many links.

[youtube:playlist] PLKSzXyEBiWpebhGSQ6-S-DbpYEcsBCH04: Downloading page #1
WARNING: [youtube:playlist] PLKSzXyEBiWpebhGSQ6-S-DbpYEcsBCH04: Playlist page is missing OpenGraph title, falling back ...
ERROR: Unable to extract title; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update.

I'm using elementary OS Freya with youtube-dl installed using an .deb package.

Thanks.

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl.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

Found this on your FAQ:

"I'm getting an error Unable to extract OpenGraph title on YouTube playlists

YouTube changed their playlist format in March 2014 and later on, so you'll need at least youtube-dl 2014.07.25 to download all YouTube videos.

If you have installed youtube-dl with a package manager, pip, setup.py or a tarball, please use that to update. Note that Ubuntu packages do not seem to get updated anymore. Since we are not affiliated with Ubuntu, there is little we can do. Feel free to report bugs to the Ubuntu packaging guys - all they have to do is update the package to a somewhat recent version. See above for a way to update."

I'm using a package from ubuntu indeed. I'll try the manual installation.

Thanks for the superfast help.
