first thing I'd like to state that I didn't have any issues using youtube-dl in Windows 10. But not in Kubuntu 18.04, It doesn't work
the command:
$ sudo youtube-dl 'IllgR6kOieI' --external-downloader aria2c --external-downloader-args '-c -j 3 -x 3 -s 3 -k 1M' -f 'bestvideo[ext=mp4]+bestaudio[ext=m4a]/bestvideo+bestaudio' --merge-output-format mp4 -o "%(playlist_title)s/%(playlist_index)s_%(title)s.%(ext)s" -i -w -c
the output:
[youtube] IllgR6kOieI: Downloading webpage
[youtube] IllgR6kOieI: Downloading video info webpage

PS: I've already installed aria2c and ffmpeg as well
EDIT:
by downloading the latest version of youtube-dl, the error has been fixed. thanx
youtube-dl
viaapt
? If so, it's likely a much older version. Remove it and download the latest version from ytdl.org.
