What I Did

I am trying to make a script to add Youtube videoes to a channel. However, I run into the following problems.

ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Trying to update youtube-dl with the following command, as that version is supposed to work:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git

However, it is not possible to upgrade, because of this:

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl.git

Hi @lsolesen - thanks for the report, keeping youtube-dl up to date has had some pitfalls because it wasn't updated for a while so we switched to the yt-dlp fork. I'll look into the most recent updates and see if this is straight forward.

This fix should now be in the most recent release https://github.com/learningequality/ricecooker/releases/tag/v0.7.2 which should shortly be on PyPi.
