    looks like it is using DLP backend, didn’t read the whole error

    [ytdl_hook] ERROR: [youtube] BBJa32lCaaY: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on  https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using  yt-dlp -U
    [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred
    Failed to recognize file format.
    

    Let’s hope youtube hasn’t finally ground the project permanently

      At the risk of being a ‘works for me’ guy, I tried downloading and playing a couple random videos and it worked on version 2023.07.06. So hopefully yt-dlp is alive and kicking!
