Yeah, it seems it's a problem of Python version 3 update and the youtube-dl.contol addon not being compatible with it.
The ytdl addon by @ruuk hasn't been updated in some time and the last post by the dev was more than a 2 year ago!

Not sure how such an important addon can be left unattended like that. I'm not a dev so I don't know the proper procedure, but at what point does an addon get declared dead and some other devs are allowed to take over the project?
The thing is the Youtube addon is working. So I guess this means they have they own ytdl implementation in their addon. The question is, can reddit viewer use that addon instead of the dead youtube-dl.control to play videos?
