We have the the latest youtube-dl_2015.10.18 available for testing from the test repo.

In case you were wondering, use youtube-dl as a ...

downloader of videos from YouTube and other sites
youtube-dl is a small command-line program to download videos from
YouTube.com and other sites that don't provide direct links to the
videos served.
.
youtube-dl allows the user, among other things, to choose a specific video
quality to download (if available) or let the program automatically
determine the best (or worst) quality video to grab. It supports
downloading entire playlists and all videos from a given user.

Updated to 2016.07.17 in the test repo, I found that 2016.02.27 wasn't working with some programs that use it to play Youtube videos, such as QMPlay2 and mpv.

I quit checking for updates to this after we added the youtube-dl-gui. Guess I should continue to put the latest up then, eh?
