Fail to download TED dataset

[zhangyahu1]

Thanks for sharing your nice work! I meet a problem when downloading TED dataset. I get:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

Could you please give me some advice to solve this problem?

On Colab, I download youtube-dl into video-preprocessing and set its permissions:

!wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O youtube-dl
!chmod 755 youtube-dl

Hi, I meet with the problem "OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: './youtube-dl'" Do you know what is the issue?

I meet this issue and I just use pip install youtube-dl, and change the args.youtube to youtube-dl. Then I can run it but all the links are broken link.... Do you know how to solve that? I used pip --upgrade to make it latest version
