If the purpose of this issue is a site support request please provide all kinds of example URLs support for which should be included (replace following example URLs by yours):

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX4jAplZb0Y&list=RDKX4jAplZb0Y

See this FAQ entry.

[yan12125]

I know your problem. It's a common mistake so I put a link to the FAQ. If the content in FAQ is not clear, you can ask more here and/or suggest a better wording.

[NikolayIT]

So for further reference: I fixed my exact problem by removing v=KX4jAplZb0Y&.

When the link contains only the list id of the YouTube mix it works. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=RDKX4jAplZb0Y

[dstftw]

Do you even read the linked FAQ entry?

[NikolayIT]

I did and I am providing a solution for others when they hit the exact same issue as me.

[dstftw]

Does look like you did. All you need to do is to put the URL into double quotes:

"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX4jAplZb0Y&list=RDKX4jAplZb0Y"

That is the correct solution clearly explained in the FAQ entry.
