From a quick search, that error seems to be caused by an out of date version. This app updates often to keep up with changes at various sites. Perhaps trying a different installation method will get you the latest version. I'm using EndeavorOS which is based on Arch Linux, so I get the latest version whenever I update my OS.
Well, bless your heart! That's very kind of you. I shall visit that website. I am running Ubuntu. It's been about 7 months since I left the Mac behind. What a wild ride!
For Linux users, you can install youtube-downloader. Very easy to use and will actually work with many sites other than youtube.
Type in a terminal: youtube-dl 'paste link here' <press enter>
That's it!
That's awesome! I shall try that.
Hmm, I received an error message: (YouTube said: Unable to extract video data)
