I'm having the same issue here. Using youtube-dl version 2021.12.17 It seems that youtube might have changed something internally. youtube-dl --verbose https://www.youtube.com/watch\?v\=y6_TOFy3k6k

In any case the extraction of an optional field shouldn't crash the extraction: - 'uploader_id': self._search_regex(r'/(?:channel|user)/([^/?&#]+)', owner_profile_url, 'uploader id') if owner_profile_url else None,
+ 'uploader_id': self._search_regex(r'/(?:channel|user)/([^/?&#]+)', owner_profile_url, 'uploader id', fatal=False) if owner_profile_url else None, [Update] To quote @nicolaasjan:
Exactly. Don't apply this change. Use the suggested methods as linked from the Description, which you should read again if you were thinking of applying this change. |

Verbose log
[YouTube] Unable to extract uploader id
Description
[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
-U
doesn'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.
