I'm using Linux Mint 21.1 and I recently installed mpv. When I run mpv followed by a youtube url I get the following lines: [ytdl_hook] ERROR: Unable to extract updater id: please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version... [ytdl_hook] youtube-dl failed: unexpected error occurred [ytdl_hook] It appears that your youtube-dl version is severely out of date Failed to recognize title format It seems that the problem is that my youtube-dl is out of date, but when I command youtube-dl --update I get that youtube-dl is up-to-date (2021.12.17). What am I failing to see?
