youtube-dl: ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id

My solution：

• Pull the latest code
• cd ~/youtube-dl
• change version.py like this
  • version = ‘2023.02.19.local’
• change cache.py
  • _DEFAULT_VERSION = ‘2023.02.19.local’
• python setup.py build
• python setup.py install
• run youtbe-dl

Y’all, go /youtube_dl/extractor/common.py. Line 983, change: fatal=True to fatal=False

I noticed with this upgrade, the speed limit was lifted. The previous version was only 40kb/s.（2021.12.17 tags） Is there any risk that google will block my ip and not let me download it ？

That said, the discussion should continue on https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31530

Is there any risk that google will block my ip and not let me download it ？

Apparently not yet.

duplicate of #31530

I get the same issue on Mac. The homebrew version seems to be old though…
