###Q: I pasted a youtube link in the box but I get an error. why?
###A: Update youtube-dl
This can happen for many reasons, for instance:
the youtube servers are having issues preventing the video from downloading
or the download directory of the video "/tmp/" is not writable.
However the most common reason for errors is actually the youtube servers.
When youtube changes something server-side, this may break youtube-dl
which is generally fixed in a timely fashion by the youtube-dl developers.
Simply updating youtube-dl via your package manager or by running
youtube-dl -U
should fix the issue.
