ExtractorError

[stephensonsco]

I tried this on a couple machines and got the same error (that was after updating as was pointed out in the error).

There was an error in downloading this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGBhQbmPwH8

I used this command:
$ youtube-dl -v FGBhQbmPwH8

Error text:

[debug] youtube-dl version 2015.10.24

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl.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

Ah, yeah. The machine I grabbed the error from wasn't updated. It is updated now, using homebrew (OSX), but the version is still:
youtube-dl 2015.10.09

which unfortunately still has the error (ExtractionError). This is probably a problem with the package manager. Thanks for the help!
