Youtube playlists not working #11932

Works for me. Maybe you are blocked in some kind? Could you try from another computer? |
|
Did you try it with that exact URL? It worked when I tried a different url ( https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0A12ED38862DB0F5 ) |
|
Works here, too. |
|
I´ll try the --flat-playlist flag. |
|
Well, --flat-playlist just tells youtube-dl don't recurse into individual videos of a playlist. In your case I guess --dump-pages can give useful information for why the extraction fails. |
|
--dump-pages just fills my console with undecipherable text, and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCO4eViY2cQ&list=PL5AFAB0251FF4912F is also broken for me. I'll get on another computer and try it again. |
|
If --dump-pages brings too much noise, try --write-pages and upload *.dump files. |
|
(I had to rename it because *.dump files aren't supported). |
|
Making a Wireshark Dump could also add some insights - if it's worth the effort. |
|
I agree. Testing on my Mac, it works perfectly. |

I'm trying to download videos from a playlist instead of manually, but I'm getting a URL error when I try to do that. The strange thing is that normal videos work fine, but once youtube-dl sees a playlist, it breaks trying to get the JSON data.
EDIT:
This is becoming really frustrating, because I just tried to download a different playlist (the Cave Story OST) and it worked! However, I'm still having the same issue with the playlist I've tried to download in the log.
