I've run into this issue now, I've update youtube-dl up to today's update and I'm getting the W error. Please help? What else can I do to troubleshoot this and get my bot back up.

I would have responded to another post and not created a new post but seeing as someone thinks its useful to lock old topics I'm forced to create a new thread to get troubleshooting assistance.

As there are no people here that help with anything nomore, I found the issue...

You need to manually and completely remove youtube-dl and then reinstall the latest version.
Code: 
sudo apt-get autoremove --purge youtube-dl
sudo apt-get remove -y youtube-dl
sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
