#30839

The program you are running is not actually yt-dl.

You need to reproduce the error by running a youtube-dl command (add the -v option) in a terminal, showing the actual URL that fails together with its options and backtrace. Otherwise, report the problem using the support channel for your program: might it be https://github.com/redianmarku/youtube-autoupload-bot?

Most likely, the program needs to bundle a newer version of the yt-dl code.
