Youtube-dl stopped working- erorr signature extraction failed and no write persmission












0















I have Mint version on my computer and usually my friend would fix this but he decided to just "dump me" and not talk to me at all for weeks now. Anyways. This is what terminal says:



ERROR: Signature extraction failed: Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1226, in _decrypt_signature
video_id, player_url, s

res = self._parse_sig_js(code)
File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py", line 1201, in _parse_sig_js
initial_function = jsi.extract_function(funcname)

raise ExtractorError('Could not find JS function %r' % funcname)
ExtractorError: Could not find JS function u'encodeURIComponent'; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.
(caused by ExtractorError(u"Could not find JS function u'encodeURIComponent'; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .

Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.


So I've tried doing Youtub-dl -U to update what is asking for and it says this:
Updating to version 2019.03.09 ...
ERROR: no write permissions on /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl



And I put my password in or something and ti still is doing this. So please any knowledgeable brave soul out there...help me. :)

  • Thanks so much for the help. So for anyone with the same problem,this is what I did (so you won't need to go digging though 1001 comments at other posts): sudo youtube-dl -U It asked me for password..put it in and it was down within seconds...then it only said to restart..I did and now it's working...both youtube-dl and youtube-mp3.
