Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Well, it's pretty simple. Downloading a video from Linkedin Learning doesnt work, and just gives me the output above, when I do for example this simple command:

youtube-dl https://www.linkedin.com/learning/python-statistics-essential-training

Downloading Youtube videos works fine.
