Hi,

I tried to dl some files with the option -o %"(upload_date)s"'('%"(uploader)s"')'%"(title)s".%"(ext)s".
But every video just gets a "NA" as upload date.
Does anyone else have the same problem or is it because I access the site (youtube) from germany and our date differs?

Thats how I get uploader, date and views displayed.

greets

Thanks for reporting the problem. Your language is not a problem, becase youtube-dl requests YouTube pages to be in English to avoid these issues. It's indeed a problem in the program source code due to a change YouTube has made in their webpages. It will be fixed now.
