good day everyone, (please consider that i researched the error before asking) so a week ago i installed youtube-dl/youtube-dlg on my ubuntu 18 machine. Out of the blue (on tuesday july the 30th 2019) the program started to act weird. Weird in a sense which it never acted before. After downloading a list of videos (multiple video downloads) the program renames the newly downloaded videos as underscore issue. And it stopped the download of others since it's been "already downloaded". I ran the terminal the terminal command:
~youtube-dl video-url
the output was:
[youtube:user] playlist: Downloading channel page
WARNING: Unable to downloadwebpage: HTTP Error 404: Not found
[youtube:user] playlist: Downloading page #1
ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found (caused by <HTTPError 404: 'Not Found'>); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and inclue its complete output.
Now the verbose output was:

My next step i took was installing the latest version after i removed it from my machine. This fixed one part of the problem. The error in youtube-dlg was not solved by updating, I am still getting the error with the underscore renaming issue. However I am able to download via the terminal but not all videos. Some of these videos showed this error:

This is my actual status and I dont know what to look for or where. Appreciate any help.
