Yes, it's frequently related to HTML parsing. YouTube's website structure changes frequently, and YouTube DL often relies on parsing the HTML content of the YouTube page to extract video links. If the HTML structure changes, the parsing logic in the script might become incorrect, leading to unexpected newline characters or syntax errors. Maintaining your script with the latest YouTube HTML structure changes is vital.
