package youtube-dl
severity 854314 grave

I just had the same issue, looked at the upstream bug tracker and found the 
issue was already reported and even resolved:
11663: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/11663
11664: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/11664

This commit fixes the issue:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commit/d1aeacd9bfe12bdf064d8888f77ccf8bd30f1723
>      def extract_object(self, objname):
>         obj = {}
>         obj_m = re.search(
> -            (r'(?:var\s+)?%s\s*=\s*\{' % re.escape(objname)) +
> +            (r'(?<!this\.)%s\s*=\s*\{' % re.escape(objname)) +
>              
> r'\s*(?P<fields>([a-zA-Z$0-9]+\s*:\s*function\(.*?\)\s*\{.*?\}(?:,\s*)?)*)' +
>              r'\}\s*;',
>              self.code)

I consider the severity of this bug to be grave ("makes the package in question 
unusable or mostly so"), because (as the name suggests) the main purpose of 
youtube-dl is downloading content from YouTube and this feature is currently 
only working on some videos. This is not acceptable for the release of Stretch.
Due to the simple nature of the fix backporting should not be a problem.

Greetings
Jack
