Title: I wanted to download some lectures [1] off youtube as I&#x27;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:&#x2F;&#x2F;yt-dl.org&#x2F;bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see  https:&#x2F;&#x2F;yt-dl.org&#x2F;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.<p>So, what&#x27;s the situation with youtube-dl? How do I get it working? As a separate question, how else can I download something off youtube?<p>I guess last resort I&#x27;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&#x27;s not sustainable.<p>[1] if anyone is curious, just discovered this from HN: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=tNOu-SEacNU&amp;list=PLDcUM9US4XdPz-KxHM4XHt7uUVGWWVSus&amp;index=5
