@Liam, could you please review the NVIDIA video on Sunday. There are great news here:
- NVIDIA will support vulkan on Linux
- Driver support will be starting from GTX 400
- Driver will be mixed with OpenGl, so both can be used at the same time
- Driver support will be Day1 on Linux starting with the release of Vulkan Specs

Yeah you probably need a more recent version. I got 0.9.2 from mc3man's trusty-media PPA. You also need a recent version of youtube-dl. You can always get the latest one with pip. (The package is called python-pip in Ubuntu.)
