Bug Description

Ubuntu 18.04.2 LTS.
gpodder ver. 3.10.1.

A few days ago gpodder stopped auto downloading youtube videos in my podcast list. Other podcasts, downloaded via rss feeds work fine.

I have my ver 3 youtube API key installed correctly and up to now have had no problems with youtube videos being downloaded.

See attached screenshot for HTTP error reported by gpodder.

5/31/19: I found a working patch for problem on github:

https://github.com/gpodder/gpodder/issues/625#issuecomment-496346645

It's necessary to read ALL the comments so that you apply the patch correctly. I used the "patch" command with the 626 patch file downloaded from Github as per "auouymous's"initial post.

I found that the patch worked with the "youtube.py" file, but not the "util.py" file. Then I read the additional new posts and realized it was especially important to heed the remarks of poster named "Ploddles" regarding spacing and retyping the ":" in the additional lines of new code.

Once I did all of the above everything worked perfectly and gpodder 3.10.1 once again was able to download youtube videos.

Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
