Trouble with youtube-dl in terminal?
"Signature extraction failed"
For the last month or so, whenever I use youtube-dl to download a favorite lyrics video I was getting this error. EVERYTIME. I like my videos downloaded and saved, instead of having to open up a browser everytime I want to listen that same old song.
Anyways, It suggested me to update the package and so I did. But apparently ubuntu repository did not have the latest package and it seemed like it wasn't updating it anytime soon. I checked the version and it was an old one last updated somwhere in the middle of 2016.
I was going to open an issue on yt-dl github page but got too lazy. So what I did was install it from python package manager instead of apt manager in ubuntu.
1. sudo apt remove -y youtube-dl
2. pip install youtube-dl
It is working like before. Now I need to use pip to update my youtube-dl package(they release an update every two weeks or something according to their github page). I still would like to see what was causing the issue, so I have saved a verbose of the command when I used youtube-dl package from apt.
Add more content after going through the issue with aptitude package manager.
