I wanted to download some lectures [1] off youtube as I'm going to be without internet or a long period, and but A) just apt install get me a version which is too old, and I get ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on how to update. and B) going to the update url I see Access denied; Due to a ruling of the Hamburg Regional Court, access to this website is blocked.So, what's the situation with youtube-dl? How do I get it working? As a separate question, how else can I download something off youtube?
I guess last resort I'll have to dig into the python to figure out why that regex is failing and what else I can do about it, but that's not sustainable.
