Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update.   

Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Update youtube-dl to the latest version.

sudo youtube-dl -U # no longer supported in Debian-based systems

If youtube-dl cannot be updated with this command, install the latest version of youtube-dl using Alternative Python package installer (pip).

sudo apt-get remove youtube-dl

sudo apt-get install python-pip  

pip install --user youtube-dl

In Ubuntu 14.04 and later youtube-dl is a snap package. To install it:

sudo snap install youtube-dl

The youtube-dl snap package will be updated automatically in the background when updates become available.
