The HTML video tag has:
<video tabindex="-1" class="video-stream html5-main-video" webkit-playsinline="" playsinline="" controlslist="nodownload" style="width: 1090px; height: 354px; left: 0px; top: 0px;" src="blob:https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/75346055-471a-498b-b269-8567239ef6e4"></video>,
but is of no immediate use(to this user at least)

Description

the requested URL does not initiate the download. other attempts with alternative utube domains (seen in the past) have failed (not even finding the file).

The error implies the file exists, but - almost immediately after seeing Downloading webpage hits the error. Thus potentially an issue with the name of the file

Your error is Unable to extract uploader id with YouTube. Read #30839 again (?) for the resolution.

[dvodvo]

The downloading was executed after uninstalling and re-installing youtube-dl. (via homebrew on MAC OSX)

brew uninstall youtube-dl
brew install youtube-dl

May I suggest that the error message be adapted.
The notion of update, or as brew required upgrade, is misleading.
A fresh install was required.

[dvodvo]

for this reader the matter is closed. Hopefully it can be of use to others.

From the master issue:

brew install --head ...

The patched version from the brewery is out of date.
