It used to work last year 😀 . The debian yt-dlp version: stable@2023.03.04 is giving a different error

ERROR: [Einthusan] 9r1H: 9r1H: Failed to parse JSON (caused by JSONDecodeError(“Expecting value in ‘’: line 1 column 1 (char 0)”)); please report this issue on https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues?q= , filling out the appropriate issue template. Confirm you are on the latest version using yt-dlp -U

this update broke my installation :(. I have not updated it in a while. Now I have to rollback until I fix this. Hope the backup will work. EDIT: It was the reverse proxy. Check the developer notes before updating.
