I keep getting this id error both on youtube-dl and yt-dlp ROR: [youtube] _8zoICtzoDs: Unable to extract uploader id;

I guess youtube changed format recently (video id) and I would like to install the adapted version of the software. Thank you very much for any help!

I tried installing and reinstalling (updating) the software in all possible ways.

  • Your video ID works well for me on yt-dlp, version 2023.03.04 ; how are you calling yt-dlp, or youtube-dl? From CLI or inside a script? – pierpy Mar 31 '23 at 20:19
  • A million thanks for the answer! I found out that yt-dlp needs python3.7 (minimum) so I had to do the following steps: >cd /tmp/ >wget https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.9/Python-3.7.9.tgz >tar xzf Python-3.7.9.tgz >cd Python-3.7.9 >./configure --enable-optimizations >sudo make altinstall >sudo ln -sfn /usr/local/bin/python3.7 /usr/bin/python3 It gets like this in the end: Abr 1 05:13 python3 -> /usr/local/bin/python3.7 – pibolito Apr 01 '23 at 04:27
  • Ok, happy coding then :-) – pierpy Apr 01 '23 at 04:45
