WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
Recently, with updated youtube-dl, specific youtube URLs like these 2 =

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7LOfY-RE9w
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPXUPNvg98g

have produced the following error = 
"ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug". 

This is unlike previous and other URLs that worked OK with this youtube-dl on Windows 10 64 bit. Other than the above log from the CMD console, I can't think of other details. Sorry if my text does not conform exactly to your instructions, which I have done my best to understand and follow.  Please help?
