Description

I ran the command:
youtube-dl -f best -ciw --verbose "https://motherless.com/0EBC4FA"
And got the error as written above.

[dirkf]

At lines 129ff. of extractor/motherless.py

        uploader_id = self._html_search_regex(
            r'"thumb-member-username">\s+<a href="/m/([^"]+)"',                 
            webpage, 'uploader_id')                                      

the final line should be

            webpage, 'uploader_id', fatal=False)

to prevent this, while still retrieving the requested video.

For an improved version, we could also look for the uploader_id in page fragment <span class="username">...</span> and get resolution from the data-quality attribute of the <video> tag. Possibly use the _parse_html5_media_entries() method.
