I am trying to download youtube-generated-playlist (mix) - then convert to audio, but failed.

URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dv13gl0a-FA&list=RDQMUe_cXgPtWx4 (or search "initial d songs" on youtube)

Based on URL, the (first video) ID must be dv13gl0a-FA, but it is was Ue_cXgPtWx4 whitch is part of playlist ID RDQMUe_cXgPtWx4

my opinion is, there's something wrong with your Regex.

No, this is not true in general, e.g. start video for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGwWNGJdvx8&list=RDPhY_DaWF-Zs is PhY_DaWF-Zs. Start video is always a video mix is dervied from. Most likely Youtube does not list Ue_cXgPtWx4 since it has been deleted.
