Unable to download in Fedora 18

[kanito73]

I have python-2.7.3-13.fc18.i686 and youtube-dl-2013.05.14-1.fc18.noarch

When I try to download videos with non-latin charset I get this error

[alphaomega@localhost downloads]$ youtube-dl -F http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnnLyQf3y6E

How can I fix it? or it is a limitation of the program? with other videos I have no troubles...

Thanks for any comment

In June 2013, YouTube has changed their algorithm for many videos, namely the signature (sig) part (see #897). Therefore, you'll need to update to a newer version of youtube-dl.

As far as I understand the information package, a new Fedora 18 package is currently being built, so you can wait a little bit and simply update.

Alternatively, you can use youtube-dl's build-in updating mechanism by typing sudo youtube-dl -U, although the distribution may disable that.
