YouTube has multiple encodings of every video; see youtube-dl -F. By default youtube-dl seems to prefer downloading individual DASH audio/video streams and merging them together. These are the ones that change all the time. get_flash_videos seems to default to formats like youtube-dl -f 22, which apparently don't change. -- Anthony J. Bentley
