Bug Description
Hello,
Unfortunately, youtube-dl doesn't work as expected when install via apt.
For example:
youtube-dl -x --audio-format mp3 https:/
should download the video in the mp3 format, but instead it throws the following error:
[youtube] WDQ-L0eETWw: Downloading webpage
ERROR: WDQ-L0eETWw: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data
It was a fresh package install. Then I uninstalled the package and installed python3-pip. Then installed youtube-dl via pip3 and the above download worked fine.
Requesting you to please take a look at this. TIA! \o/
