Now the whole list gives that error Edit: The problem is from youtube-dl

See https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube/issues/1063#issuecomment-590101397 for the temporary fix

[atropo]

Try deleting the youtube-dl cache. Works for me:

 youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir

Try deleting the youtube-dl cache. Works for me:

 youtube-dl --rm-cache-dir 

The problem is related to cache memory but that commando will not always help. You need to remove this file ~/.config/mps-youtube/cache_py_* See: https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube/issues/1076#issuecomment-615467264

A temporary workaround to keep this from happening because this file will be created again after a while can be found here: https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube/issues/1063#issuecomment-602245793
