Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2017.05.18.1-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,
I have been unable to download channel content from evening itself. A
web search/surf revealed that youtube has changed the rules again and
some proposed code is shared in
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/14083#issuecomment-326294947
. Please do the changes so youtube-dl is usable again.

Upstream coder seems to think only changes in youtube.py may be enough
(probably due to upstream youtube-dl changes for everyday) for it to
work. From the errors below, it seems it affects more than one file.

[$] dpkg -L youtube-dl | grep youtube.py
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py

For reference sharing a youtube channel which shows the issue -

[$] youtube-dl --verbose
