My experience agrees. I've found it imperative to upgrade the script on a regular basis to ensure it keeps working. YouTube messes with stuff all the time, and it's rarely long before an outdated version breaks. I had to abandon using the official package and just maintain my own local copy (fortunately, ‘youtube-dl -U’ makes this pretty quick and painless).
