Unable to extract uploader id #112

It seems youtube changed an @ and this has broken everything.

The error is: "[youtube] Downloading login page [youtube] Looking up account info WARNING: Unable to look up account info: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request [youtube] hePrs5TyE0A: Downloading webpage ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output."

However, it appears the underlying issue has already been found. (An extra @ in the userid) https://forum.videohelp.com/threads/408650-No-longer-able-to-download-videos-with-youtube-dl-exe#post2681508 https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31530

This is primarily a problem with youtube-dl and not ydl-ui.

Try using v2.9.1 (see https://github.com/Maxstupo/ydl-ui/issues/114#issuecomment-1875614905) as v2.9.0 is bundled with an old youtube-dl version.
