  • Put an x into all the boxes [ ] relevant to your issue (like this: [x])
  • Use the Preview tab to see what your issue will actually look like

Make sure you are using the latest version: run youtube-dl --version and ensure your version is 2018.10.29. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.

  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.10.29

Before submitting an issue make sure you have:

  • At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections

What is the purpose of your issue?

  • Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)
