Thanks for the report, fixed in git and in the next release.

Rudloff · 2013-08-24T21:07:09Z

Thanks, but is it normal that it downloads only the first video ?

jaimeMF · 2013-08-24T21:10:34Z

It's the current behaviour: #1300

I am having the same problem. I'm sorry but my understanding of this is all very limited, but up until yesterday it was all working perfectly. I have only used the Windows executable file, I simply don't understand how to do it any other way. I open a "cmd" window, drag youtube-dl.exe into it then paste the youtube vid url and simply hit enter. It's worked beautifully up until today. And yes I have made sure I'm using the latest version. Do I need to do something differently now ? Again, my apologies for being so basic with it. Any hep, in layman's terms, would be greatly appreciated.

I have the same problem. Using youtube-dl-2017.01.10-1.fc25.noarch.

morsik · 2017-01-31T20:13:52Z

I downloaded version from git. Looks like it works with this: #11892

Indeed. Updated to 2017.01.31 and it works. Sorry for the noise

@youcanjive No, it's still working as before, just make sure you're using the latest version of youtube-dl.exe
