[Discuss] youtube-dl no longer working in Ubuntu

[Patrick]

Hi.  :-)

Updating with
	sudo youtube-dl -U
works nicely.  I just tried that, btw, and notice they'd released
an update on the 20th.  So something on the server side probably
changed recently.

moi at T42:~$ sudo youtube-dl -U
[sudo] password for moi: 
Updating to version 2019.05.20 ...
Updated youtube-dl. Restart youtube-dl to use the new version.


Cheers,
Patrick.

Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update  on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.
