I have exactly the same problem. I will report it with more information. Could you reopen this issue or I create a new one ?
I'll report it later today.

It seems to be the same problem as reported here.

I assume this commit introduced the error. With the latest version, 2021.04.17 I get the error:

I have tested with youtube-dl 2021.04.07 and it works fine. Perhpas some infos on my system:

uname -a 
Linux HOSTNAME 5.7.12 #7 SMP Wed Oct 21 07:21:26 UTC 2020 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And the version of python

python --version
Python 3.9.4

Following the guidelines to report a bug, there is a closed issue related with mine. But it was not solved because it was incomplete. So should we reopen it ?

The problem that you mentioned is for youtubedl-android and it has been resolved in yausername/youtubedl-lazy#8 and it works without any problems.
