I tested this in a console application with version 4.3.1. This issue is occurring from last two days.

Hi there,

I'm also experiencing this error. Currently curious if a function has changed names or something within YouTube's source code.

[DominicMaas]

Hmm, same issue over here.

How this will help us https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commit/9a47fa35dd9dd2d53f4d3f088811ea29295991e5?diff=split

[gvreddy04]

Seems below regex is working:
var entryPoint = Regex.Match(sourceRaw, @"(.?)=function((.?)){.=..split("""");(.*?)..join("""")};").Groups[1].Value;

With above regex it is working for me. But I see it is taking more time (> 30 seconds) to get the streams.

The following regex code is working for me, and no slowdowns:
var entryPoint = Regex.Match(sourceRaw, @"yt\.akamaized\.net/\)\s*\|\|\s*.*?\s*c\s*&&\s*d\.set\([^,]+\s*,\s*([a-zA-Z0-9$]+)\(").Groups[1].Value;

...although I'm absolutely freaking terrible at regex, so probably could be cleaned up.

For me most of the music videos are not working. I get the same exception like everyone else. Will this be fixed soon?

[Tyrrrz]

I will be able to release a new version on Monday.

[ConfusedRunningGuy]

yeah that regex didn't work for me. I'm still getting unable to find entry point exception.

[smartbracker]

My regex beta version
var entryPoint = Regex.Match(sourceRaw, @"(\w+)&&(\w+)\.set\(\w+,(\w+)\(\1\)\);return\s+\2").Groups[3].Value;

[Tyrrrz]

Thank you, @smartbracker

My regex beta version
var entryPoint = Regex.Match(sourceRaw, @"(\w+)&&(\w+)\.set\(\w+,(\w+)\(\1\)\);return\s+\2").Groups[3].Value;
