Curious in general how often Youtube breaks things on their end, i.e. how long roughly this specific version of youtube-dl is expected to keep working without any active development?

git pull the repo, cd into it, and do `git log --follow -- youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py`.

Thanks. That would indicate roughly 2 months or so...

I use youtube-dl fairly infrequently... maybe once a month or so. Nearly every time I used it it would not download the video I wanted - so I'd do a "youtube-dl -u", then it would work.

Just spreading the repo around isn't going to help for very long.

Yeah same here, so next time I'll need it it probably won't work. :|
