The dependency is fixed on my repository. It is also fixed on the official repo pending a mirrors update.

Thanks for your work on this - I thought I'd let you know that I have submitted a pull request to the YouTube Addon that will make use of this addon to download a given YouTube video.
http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...pid2008034
I hope this is OK - I just thought it made sense to make use of this so there wasn't duplicate code all over the place!
Thanks
Rob

I am trying to use youtube-dl control to download a video (on windows)

youtube.com download works fine.
