To OP, as well as to all me, toos:

Have you followed the recommended procedure on opening a NEW ISSUE in this tracker? It's a PINNED issue:

i.e. #30839

Had you done that, you'd have performed a search for existing issues with the ERROR ERROR: Unable to extract uploader id and you'd have found ca. 110 duplicate issues with the same/similar error message, plus links to the originating issue (now a megathread), with content and info on how to hopefully remedy your predicament...

BTW, the WARNING: [youtube] Unable to decode n-parameter: download likely to be throttled warning has also been taken care of in git-master...
