Hi, I have been having this error using youtube-dl for a while. Here is what I get:
$ youtube-dl --verbose https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzH7_gGAM3Y [debug] System config: ['--prefer-free-formats'] [debug] User config: [] [debug] Custom config: [] [debug] Command-line args: ['--verbose', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzH7_gGAM3Y'] [debug] Encodings: locale UTF-8, fs utf-8, out utf-8, pref UTF-8 [debug] youtube-dl version 2021.12.17 [debug] Python version 3.11.4 (CPython) - Linux-6.3.8-200.fc38.x86_64-x86_64-with-glibc2.37 [debug] exe versions: ffmpeg 6.0, ffprobe 6.0 [debug] Proxy map: {} [youtube] SzH7_gGAM3Y: Downloading webpage ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug .

Strangely, works fine with mpv, which I understand uses youtube-dl. Any suggestions on the problem?
