Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The issue i have is that I have provided my login information but the program does not appear to recognize it. It appears that it does not login incorrectly. Please assume I have provided the correct username and password. The playlist I am accessing is a test playlist that is private.

Togame-san · 2017-04-30T00:21:48Z

Please note that the current URL points to just a video. I added the wrong command. Here is the log for an actual attempt to access a private playlist.

The format of the command is as in the previous log; the url is the only thing changed.

dstftw · 2017-04-30T00:30:23Z

Post the output with --dump-pages.

What I want to do is create a script so that I can access all the playlists a youtube user has and download the one that he or she specifies.

HPP8140 · 2017-04-30T13:44:59Z

Happens to me as well....works most of the time. I think it is related to new sign-in page.
