Hello! When I use video finder to download this link from Youtube I got this error: ERROR: Unable to extract uploader name; 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. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. I try and figured out that the latest version of youtube-dl fix this problem.

Research direction
The issue is that the video finder fails due to an outdated youtube dl. The fix involves updating the bundled youtube dl version or switching to youtube dl's API. Look into how Persepolis currently integrates youtube dl (likely via subprocess or library). Update youtube dl to latest and verify video finder works. See comments for additional context.
