I know the user asked this for Linux  but I had this issue in Windows  10 64bits  and found little information  so this is how I solved it    Download LIBAV  I used libav-11 3-win64 7z  Just copy  avprobe exe  and all DLLs from   win64 usr bin  to where  youtube-dl exe  is    In case LIBAV does not help  try with FFMPEG  copying the contents of the  bin  folder to where  youtube-dl exe  is  That did not help me  but others said it did  so it may worth a try   Hope this helps someone having the issue in Windows

There is some confusion when using pip install in Windows  The instructions talk about a specific folder which has youtube-dl exe  There is no such folder if you use pip install    The solution is to      Download one of the builds from https   ffmpeg zeranoe com  Extract the zip contents Place the contents of the bin folder  there are three exe files  in any folder which is a path in Windows  I personally use Ananconda  so I placed them in  Anaconda Scripts  but you could place it in any folder and add that folder to the path

You can install them by   sudo apt-get install -y libav-tools

What worked for me  youtube-dl version 2018 03 03  ffprobe 0 5  no avprobe  3 4 1-tessus  in Hi-Sierra iMac  was      brew install libav    thanks to marciovsena s post on GitHub    I saw elsewhere that libav might be deprecated in the future  but I ll worry about it when we get there
