Youtube-dl has always worked reliably on my Flidas systems. But in the last
few days I noticed it failing to download videos from YT.
Here's the terminal output:
strypey@Bishop:~$ youtube-dl https://yewtu.be/watch?v=O3YP1TU-L_8
[generic] watch?v=O3YP1TU-L_8: Requesting header
WARNING: Could not send HEAD request to https://yewtu.be/watch?v=O3YP1TU-L_8:

(caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .
Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on
how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include
its complete output.

Yet I am watching this video using Invidio.us right now.
