Youtube-dl error while trying to download a video

Hey Betty Lodge,

Well it’s not only you, i am also facing the same problem. However I searched on the internet for the solution and I come to know that they have changed it from the backend.

Probably they have changed it "url_encoded_fmt_stream_map" with "fmt_url_map". I have also noticed some changes in it. I am going to share these changes with you.

Hope it will help you.
