I'm getting the "Unable to extract uploader id" error with youtube videos. It seems to have been fixed in upstream.
Are you sure you're using yt-dlp-2023.2.17? That's the fixed version that got released today and it seems to work fine for me. try `yt-dlp --version`
In the future, please include the package category (net-misc) in the bug summary.
You are right, I had an outdated binary in my ~/bin folder
