I have problems downloading any video using youtube-dl on Ubuntu 20.04.


Whenever I try to download a video, the progress is stuck at Downloading webpage. Then I wait and nothing happens...


youtube-dl --verbose https://youtu.be/IMxN6tocjX0

I have the most current version available via pip (2021.12.17).


I also tried with a current version of yt-dlp (2022.08.19), but same issue.

For me, it seems to have been a problem with IPv6. Running youtube-dl with the flag


--force-ipv4

worked for me.


The same flag also works for the same issue with yt-dlp.
