Description

Downloading my playlist from another system worked (different version from github). When downloading from my fresh windows 10, it downloaded only ~80/180. Every failed download gives the same error message. Updating youtube-dl via pip install -U youtube_dl didn’t help (latest was already installed prior). Here are some tracks, which failed to download:

Yep, it did! You can update your youtube-dl to latest version with

$ pip3 install youtube-dl -U

Gotta close this.

Seems like YouTube changed something (yet again). Let’s hope if those awesome youtube-dl guys can release a fix soon.
