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)
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).
