Thank you for the report! It looks like justin.tv has separated their infrastructure from twitch.tv - previously, we used the justin.tv API for twitch.tv as well. Wwe probably need to use the new twitch.tv-specific API.

@phihag why not fall back on calling livestreamer on twitch.tv URLs in the mean time (if it is installed and if youtube-dl fails)? It's oriented to live streaming sites (more than 50) and works perfectly with twitch.tv. Installable through pip.

I believe this issue to be fixed in youtube-dl 2015.01.23 and newer. See our FAQ if you need help updating.
