Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2011.02.25b-1
Severity: normal

As of today, YouTube downloads the previously worked with the same
version of youtube-dl now fail. This pretty clearly points at recent
YouTube site changes, e.g.

$ youtube-dl 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-V3588lNWVg'
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] -V3588lNWVg: Downloading video webpage
[youtube] -V3588lNWVg: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] -V3588lNWVg: Extracting video information
ERROR: no fmt_url_map or conn information found in video info

Please also see this very recent upstream bug, wherein the same error is 
reported:

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/134

One commenter noted that another YouTube downloader also failed around
the same time, providing further confirmation it is likely a YouTube
site issue.
