Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2014.08.05-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

Using youtube-dl on some YouTube videos fails. This due to a change with the 
encrypted signatures used on YouTube.

Example:

$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_jUtiKSf1Y
[youtube] Setting language
[youtube] g_jUtiKSf1Y: Downloading webpage
[youtube] g_jUtiKSf1Y: Downloading video info webpage
[youtube] g_jUtiKSf1Y: Extracting video information
[youtube] g_jUtiKSf1Y: Encrypted signatures detected.
[youtube] g_jUtiKSf1Y: Downloading js player vflBuyJ2c

According to upstream this should have been fixed with a newer version. [1] 
Please update Jessie to use it.

Thanks
