Yeah, we're currently talking about this issue in my thread over at #31535— I've listed some resources/other threads talking about what's happening. They're working on it! #31530

[comicsansgreenki]

Duplicate of #31530. Please try to follow the checklist instead of marking all of them as completed. oh yeah and use the template!

[MintKakapo]

Looks like you didn't find #31530.

Whoops - - I'll reference that one from now on; I was leaving it open for discussion of coding developments—I was linking to mine for general discussion of the topic. Sorry about that

And in general, #30839.

I haven't had any success using Youtube-DL [for at least a month or so] either. I went through all of the notes, suggestions, uninstalled everything / reinstalled everything . . . Nada.

Same 'error code':

D:\VIDEO>youtube-dl.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-hXUuz8ugg [youtube] B-hXUuz8ugg: 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.

And Everything is up to date.

No clue.
