Something changed with youtube-dl’s inner-workings as of version 2016.07.16, which I think is causing this. This is probably the culprit: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commit/317f7ab634174666e458807fa309a2e7ba459267

@pizzadude A temporary fix would be to revert to youtube-dl version 2016.07.13
