Hi,
I used youtube-dl later but recently it show this error:

ERROR: Unable to download webpage: '' (caused by BadStatusLine("''",)); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I try with this command to SSH to my server:
ssh -D 8580 myUsername@myServerIP
And use this command to download youtube video:
youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ5u1FYgFAs --proxy "http://127.0.0.1:8580"

What's the output of wget --proxy 127.0.0.1:8580 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ5u1FYgFAs?

But I can see page with browser (when set proxy on browser)

Remove http:// from option value: --proxy 127.0.0.1:8580.

It's obvious that problem is in your proxy since wget does not work either.
