Error: Unable to extract uploader id - Youtube, Discord.py

I have a very powerful bot in discord (discord.py, PYTHON) and it can play music in voice channels. It gets the music from youtube (youtube_dl). It worked perfectly before but now it doesn't want to work with any video. I tried updating youtube_dl but it still doesn't work I searched everywhere but I still can't find a answer that might help me.

This is the Error: Error: Unable to extract uploader id

After and before the error log there is no more information. Can anyone help?

I will leave some of the code that I use for my bot... The youtube setup settings:

youtube_dl.utils.bug_reports_message = lambda: ''


ytdl_format_options = {
    'format': 'bestaudio/best',
    'outtmpl': '%(extractor)s-%(id)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s',
    'restrictfilenames': True,
    'noplaylist': True,
    'nocheckcertificate': True,
    'ignoreerrors': False,
    'logtostderr': False,
    'quiet': True,
    'no_warnings': True,
    'default_search': 'auto',
    'source_address': '0.0.0.0',  # bind to ipv4 since ipv6 addresses cause issues sometimes
}

ffmpeg_options = {
    'options': '-vn',
}

ytdl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ytdl_format_options)


class YTDLSource(discord.PCMVolumeTransformer):
    def __init__(self, source, *, data, volume=0.5):
        super().__init__(source, volume)

        self.data = data

        self.title = data.get('title')
        self.url = data.get('url')
        self.duration = data.get('duration')
        self.image = data.get("thumbnails")[0]["url"]
    @classmethod
    async def from_url(cls, url, *, loop=None, stream=False):
        loop = loop or asyncio.get_event_loop()
        data = await loop.run_in_executor(None, lambda: ytdl.extract_info(url, download=not stream))
        #print(data)

        if 'entries' in data:
            # take first item from a playlist
            data = data['entries'][0]
        #print(data["thumbnails"][0]["url"])
        #print(data["duration"])
        filename = data['url'] if stream else ytdl.prepare_filename(data)
        return cls(discord.FFmpegPCMAudio(filename, **ffmpeg_options), data=data)

Approximately the command to run the audio (from my bot):

sessionChanel = message.author.voice.channel
await sessionChannel.connect()
url = matched.group(1)
player = await YTDLSource.from_url(url, loop=client.loop, stream=True)
sessionChannel.guild.voice_client.play(player, after=lambda e: print(
                                       f'Player error: {e}') if e else None)

Solution

This is a known issue, fixed in Master. For a temporary fix,

python3 -m pip install --force-reinstall https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/archive/master.tar.gz

This installs tha master version. Run it through the command-line

yt-dlp URL

where URL is the URL of the video you want. See yt-dlp --help for all options. It should just work without errors.

If you're using it as a module,

import yt_dlp as youtube_dl

might fix your problems (though there could be API changes that break your code; I don't know which version of yt_dlp you were using etc).
