Yes, can we have the latest version available so that we can update our yt-dlp package? Can’t download any YouTube videos.
I had similar issue but removing yt-dlp not just via pacman -Rns yt-dlp-git command but also in aur cache using -Sc parameter in yay or relavent parameter in other aur package manager. Then reinstalling did the job for me. I don’t think this would solve issue for everyone but it is worth trying if reinstalling is doing to job for me !!

You have multiple options to fix the issue. Staying on stable branch, you have to edit or comment out (#) one line .
Sorry, I should have replied to the OP. It wasn’t meant for you, I guess I just responded to the last message.
