1 year ago It would be easiest if the -U flag worked instead of failing and recommending the user submit a bug report.
In my case the -U argument does not work... and the latest version downloaded from the internet as released version:
Windows exe (sig - SHA256 26e5c00c35c5c3edc86dfc0a720aed109a13b1b7c67ac654a0ce8ff82a1f2c16)
... which is not fixed, also always shows the same error.

I mean, FOSS is a good thing. Though no OS gives you two helping hands. And when you come here, and see some 200 posts, yes, you are expected to start scanning from the top, what solutions could be found. And there are some. And references. Since you are on Linux, this might work:
$ sudo apt install python3-pip$
(If it is already installed, just the better)
$ pip install git+https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git@master#egg=youtube_dl(Okay, that's just to TRY, not yet in the correct location. But now $ .local/bin/youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/..... should do the job. At least, here it does. If you wanted, you could next install it system-wide.

1 year ago dirkf/dirkk0, you're getting lots of duplicate reports because the provided solution doesn't fix the issue. The issue isn't "unable to extract uploader id" - that's fixed! Now the pressing issue is that -U is broken. Users are expecting a solution which makes -U grab the updates, as intended. If the problem is that -U doesn't work, and you can't make -U work "(yet)", well... let's just say that every bug report you close without addressing the underlying problem makes it more likely that a redundant bug report will appear! 😉
It could decrease confusion and dupe reports to put an ETA on the -U matter in the solution to the main issue, e.g. "The next release solving this issue should be downloadable with -U in two or three months. In the meantime, manually reinstalling using the nightly builds will work, or you can update with pip or use yt-dl (etc)"

1 year ago It appears to have broken between versions 2021.1.16 and 2021.02.04
Here is the diff for youtube.py at that version https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/compare/2021.01.16..2021.02.04#diff-0f24619cf9483f3bea670bba396939af35ea780edba90bb9d96ab20aae43386f
It is fixed in git, but not in release. For now you will have to download the python source installer, until the new release (newer than 2021.12.17) is set and distributed. For now, if you require pip or other package install, you could use 2021.01.16, but latest is probably better.

Maybe people think "they should know how to install" but that would be besides the point of making it easier. Most probably have no idea about pip's git syntax either.
They might be referring to the fact that development builds might be more unstable, but either way things will break, and a project as complex and litigious as this shows it multiple times.

The git+https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git@master#egg=youtube_dl tells pip to install youtube-dl from the latest revision in this youtube-dl repository which you are commenting on an issue in. It's necessary to do this to change the unable to extract uploader id from an error into a warning and be able to download videos. Or you can install 2021.01.16, or try manually edit youtube.py as per https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31530#issuecomment-1433470254

1 year ago @RandomLive the easiest dumber-than-a-layman way of fixing the unable to extract uploader id issue is to simply install yt-dlp and use it instead of youtube-dl until a new release comes out which you will be able to update to automatically.

1 year ago I was able to fix my version of youtube-dl with a manual hotfix, my way was a little different than the one listed here.
I went into file ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py
and changed the line
'uploader_id': self._search_regex(r'/(?:channel|user)/([^/?&#]+)', owner_profile_url, 'uploader id') if owner_profile_url else None,
to
'uploader_id': None
because the indicated fix didn't work for me.
but I couldn't figure out how to recompile youtube-dl from within the pip3 install folder, because there is no setup.py there, so I'm calling it with:
python3 ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/youtube_dl/main.py
which isn't the most elegant solution, but works for now... I'm sort of locked to python3.6 on this machine so hopeful the eventually fix won't require 3.7 or higher....

1 year ago I was able to fix my version of youtube-dl with a manual hotfix,
You could have used the actual commit from yt-dl.
The final fix will be similar to this:
'uploader_id': self._search_regex(r'/(?:(?:channel|user)/|(?=@))([^/?&#]+)', owner_profile_url or '', 'uploader id', default=None),If you have to become admin to make a manual patch, ensure that you also run yt-dl (eg, with --version) as admin after patching to update the compiled bytecode module: otherwise the program will mysteriously continue to behave as before even though the source code appears different. You don't need to do any other setup.

1 year ago Hello Win 10 and 11 has since one Week the same Error: ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug I use the newest Version direct from GitHub.
Since two years i use the same Batchfile to download Videos from YouTube. And since one week i get this error. Is yt-dlp the new "youtube-dl"?
Can somebody help?

1 year ago @dirkf to update the version I have on my system do I need to clone the repo and build the project. youtube-dl -U doesn't work:
$ sudo youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2021.12.17)

1 year ago Took a while to get my raspberry on but I'm quite positive I got the right one for the update, tried uninstall and reinstall it to verify if it's the right one as well but it keep giving the same problem. Edit: I've added the verbose in the above comment, perhaps the way to fix rn is to go to yt-dlp :(

1 year ago If you installed with a package manager (apt, yum, brew, winget, etc), you may find that the maintainers of your package repository have updated the package from a fixed development version (eg, Ubuntu).
Careful. I tried on *buntu 22.04; snap and apt, but didn't get any updated version. So back to my trusted pip install. YMMV

1 year ago @jduckett, the error log is well known. Let us know the result of type youtube-dl, the exact command(s) that you used to update, and, if you can recall, how your yt-dl was originally installed.
This issue is solved: read the Description below If you still want to comment after reading that, think again: first read this post below to avoid your comment being deleted or marked as spam.

[Revised by @dirkf] OP actually reported the bug for yt-dlp.
The problem, which was revealed by a change in the metadata served by YouTube, applied to both youtube-dl and yt-dlp and has been fixed in both programs.
There is a release of yt-dlp that includes the fix. See #31535 for discussion of whether this would be a good choice for you.
See below for ways to update to a fixed version of youtube-dl. Using
-Udoesn't (yet) work. A new release may be created, including the final fix, some time later than now. However, there is now a nightly build from the latest code here.There's no point posting your log that shows the error now: feel free to thumb-up this post. Also, be aware that the initial patch still flagged the original issue as a WARNING; the fully fixed yt-dl doesn't. Consider raising a separate issue if your fixed yt-dl shows a different error.
