[SOLVED] youtube-dl not working since upgrade to 13.37

I just upgraded to 13.37 and isntalled youtube-dl and rtmpdump from Slackbuilds.org. I haven't been able to download any videos from youtube.com and the error message is always:

Code:

[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] I65-H8oagag: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] I65-H8oagag: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] I65-H8oagag: Extracting video information
ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info

Does anyone have any clue what this is about?

I'm sorry for being quick to post a thread. For some reason it seems I just needed to update it with

Code:

youtube-dl --update

which is a really nice feature. Hope that helps somebody else that is too slow to google!
