securitybreach Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Follow the second answer on the link above. The reason I asked what app you were using is because when I researched your error, it was full of Ubuntu and Mint posts that basically said that the version of youtube-dl wasn't up to date from the repos. To fix that, you would run these commands (from that link): wget -O - https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl >/dev/null sudo chmod a+x /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 You are basically downloading the latest version from the youtube-dl website to /usr/local/bin/. Then the second command sets the correct permissions on the file so you can run the binary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted May 4, 2017 Author Share Posted May 4, 2017 Hi securitybreach, As of last night when i shutdown my puter i still could not d/l a video at Youtube. Got up this morning turned on the puter and tried again to d/l a video and it worked! Now i dont understand why after rebooting a few times yesterday it would not work but after a shutdown it works. Any ideas as to why? Thanks, Eagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 Perhaps youtube-dl was updated or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
