Steps to reproduce

1. Try to download a video such as one above
2. It fails
3. If latest version on youtube-dl's github is used (version number is same but bug has been fixed) it works

You should follow one of the steps described at ytdl-org/youtube-dl#31530 (comment). We can't just apply a simple patch to it because there have been a lot of changes between the latest release and the commit, that fixes the issue.
I can only recommend using yt-dlp for now.

until upstream youtube-dl tags a new release, you may use yt-dlp, either from Void's repos or pypi.
