A note on youtube-dl

Hi folks! :-)

Just a small note... I just tried and found out that the youtube-dl doesn't 
work anymore. Reading the youtube-dl FAQ page, it says that YouTube has 
changed the protocol again (since September 2012) and that we should update 
the script to the latest version.

The "sudo youtube-dl --update" works as expected (and once updated, it 
downloads stuff fine), but I guess someone should notify the relevant package 
maintainer to update the rpm package, so that it gets pulled in with an 
ordinary yum update.

I wasted half an hour hunting this down, so that noone else needs to. ;-)

HTH, :-)
Marko
