I have updated to the latest version of youtube-dlc, version 2020.11.11-3.
If I try to download a certain URL as shown in my Verbose Log, I get the following error messages:

youtube-dlc repo is moved to https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc after the DMCA takedown. However, it has also had no updates since last December. You can use my fork yt-dlp instead if you want.

Hi pukkandan, thanks a lot! I found it just before you replied to me, and it instantly worked. Thanks a lot for making your fork, brilliant work. Please continue and maintain it, many thanks indeed!!

Would be nice to see yt-dlp on brew, if possible?
