Unable to extract uploader ID

I had the same issue and just figured out the solution

Go to the youtube-dlg folder in your AppData:
%appdata%\youtube-dlg

From here you can do 1 of 2 things:

• Replace the youtube-dl.exe with a new updated version from the official repo. This will fix it right now and be done with it, but it is just for the app itself but will be just fine in most cases and is probably what you want to do.
• Edit "settings.json" and change the "youtubedl_path" variable to the one you have installed in a base location. This one allows you the option to run via command line when needed... but that defeats that whole point of the UI so yeah lol.
