It stops working after SHA: 6bf48bd , with older commits it works well.

Also even though the command also fails with the example url in test_youtube_lists.py, the test passes.

[jaimeMF]

It also fails with 2013.03.29

[jaimeMF]

Seems to be the same as in #754

[FiloSottile]

Oh, looks like I screwed up. Sorry.
Prioritizing it!

[FiloSottile]

Ok, why the hell was YoutubePlaylistIE matching user URLs? I don't even want to know, anyway fixed. Thanks for reporting!

[jaimeMF]

Thanks for the quick fix.

Still having it after updating to 2013.03.29:

$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/user/AdamThomasMoran
[youtube] PL AdamThomasMoran: Downloading page #1
ERROR: unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

While it certainly works with 2012.09.27.

$ python --version
Python 2.7.4rc1

[jaimeMF]

The problem was fixed after the release of 2013.03.29, it's fixed in 2013.04.03, see more information in #774

[Plaque-fcc]

Yes, while youtube-dl -U updates itself to 2013.03.29 which is

not workable, as you know.

[jaimeMF]

I know, phihag has said they will upload when they can build the windows version: #774 (comment)

[Plaque-fcc]

One could suspend the broken release, as it's been reported to

be no good. Anyways, fellows, you do so amazing job, and we wait, take
your time. Apart: Be I a Windows user, I could gain the feeling that
until the build for WinNT comes out, no-one gets the release. Cool it
could be. ;D

[phihag]

@Plaque-fcc Sorry, what do you mean with workable? 2013.03.29 should just have this one issue, or are there any other major faults with it? And while we could release without Windows, our build process is unfortunately not that flexible.

[Plaque-fcc]

I only mean that the only mode I use youtube-dl is this mode.

Thus, update to the version mentioned ruins all the use for me.
