This isn't a question directly about YouTube-dl, but I rather I'd like to know how you guys handled the issue.

Recently, YouTube appears to have changed their format. as discussed here. For some videos, there is no longer a "ytplayer.config" section, and there is instead a "RELATED_PLAYER_ARGS" section which I believe contains the data... not yet sure if it's the same format or what else changed.

If I look in my browser, RELATED_PLAYER_ARGS is there with a lot of data inside. If I download from a software, however, the tag comes out empty as 'RELATED_PLAYER_ARGS': {"rvs":""},

How are you dealing with this, and what else is there to know about these latest changes?

Thanks
