 (caused by ValueError("unknown url type: '/yts/jsbin/player-en_US-vflqOi6vK/base.js'",)); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see  https://yt-dl.org/update  on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

My code is the following

opts = {
'format': 'webm[abr>0]/bestaudio/best',
'prefer_ffmpeg': True,
'simulate': True,
'verbose': True
}
ydl = youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(opts)
info = ydl.extract_info('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPBbMbKSZrQ',download=False)

The error occurs about 50% of the time on the extract_info call
For ease of reading i also made Pastebins of two output logs one working and one failing

Here is the same exact code run and it works

And here is the code ran several more times until it failed

It appears somehow that one of the signature lengths is shorter than the others when it breaks? Not sure if its Youtube giving you bad data or what?

You are using an outdated version, you have to update youtube-dl.
