Hello,

I'm having the exact same issue although I'm on Mac. Should I make a separate thread? I'll describe my issue on this thread with my verbose log since it's the same issue.

I've installed Python 3.8.5 using Pyenv. (I followed a guide, because I've no idea what I'm doing)
I installed Youtube-DL using HomeBrew.

I'm trying to download a youtube video but I receive the same error described in this thread + some strange lines (I have no clue what they are)
