Add -v flag to your command line you run youtube-dl with, copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):

~/bin/youtube-dl -v --proxy $http_proxy --write-description --write-info-json --ignore-errors http://www.ludo.fr/heros/star-wars-rebels

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):

• Playlist: http://www.ludo.fr/heros/star-wars-rebels
• Playlist: http://www.ludo.fr/heros/il-etait-une-fois-la-vie

Description

Playlists in subdomain sites like www.ludo.fr refers to videos for which I cannot find URLs at https://www.france.tv/

For instance, these two playlists have more videos available from www.ludo.fr than at

• https://www.france.tv/france-4/star-wars-rebels/
• https://www.france.tv/france-4/il-etait-une-fois-la-vie/

Again well done for this great tool !

I started some code for that but it is still really draft as it is my first IE for youtube-dl...

[ymartin59]

I found a good trick to get full playlist the best way (single call, pure JSON returned): http://www.ludo.fr/heros/il-etait-une-fois-la-vie/playlist?limit=20&offset=0
