Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I was trying to download all the videos contained from this single post (yep, I'm pretty much a noob making knots):

https://gearpatrol.com/2017/12/30/how-to-tie-knots/

However, no matter what I tried, youtube-dl always downloaded just the first video listed there (Our Go-To: Water Knot).

On an attempt of knowing what was going on, I went sniffing into the code of the post and I learned those were JWPlayer videos. So I ended sed'ing the code to get the JWPlayer URLS, throwing them onto a file and use it to download them with 'youtube-dl -a'.

All of this is because I was expecting youtube-dl to download all of the videos contained there, pretty much like when you give a YouTube channel/playlist URL to youtube-dl, but not just the first video it found.
