Hi,  
The youtube extension stopped working?  
Has this anything to do with the take down of the youtube-dl project?

Thanks

Try asking on their issue tracker. The maintainer is very responsive.

It seems there was breaking changes in youtube-dl, so for now the mopidy-youtube package from pip is broken.  
See related issue: [https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube/issues/163](https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube/issues/163)

You can install from git directly: `pip3 install git+https://github.com/natumbri/mopidy-youtube.git`
