Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I am trying to use youtube-dl to download playlists from youtube. It downloads the first song in the playlist but then stops. the verbose log doesn't seem to give an error :

[debug] System config: []

[debug] Command-line args: ['--force-ipv4', '-x', '--audio-format', 'mp3', '--yes-playlist', '-i', '--verbose', '--newline', '-o', 'C:\\*PATHTOPROGRAM*/%(id)s.%(ext)s', 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXYiU_JCYtU&list=PL87FA01F68C540290']

[debug] Proxy map: {}

I am using C# Dot.NetCore and the code I'm using is :

private Process DownloadPlaylist(string url)
{ 
        Process downloadPlaylist = new Process
        {
                StartInfo = new ProcessStartInfo
                {
                        FileName = "youtube-dl.exe",
                        Arguments = $"--force-ipv4 -x --audio-format mp3 --yes-playlist -i --verbose --newline -o \"{Video.audioCache}%(id)s.%(ext)s\" \"{url}\"",
                        UseShellExecute = false,
                        RedirectStandardOutput = true,
                        CreateNoWindow = false,
                }
        };

        downloadPlaylist.Start();
        downloadPlaylist.WaitForExit();
        return downloadPlaylist;
}

If I'm being dumb please let me know, I've been looking around for an issue similar to this and I've found results that talk about escaping urls properly and I believe I am with \"{url}\""

Note - Just to clarify PATHTOPROGRAM is not what I actually send, just not comfortable wanting to post my directory.

Thanks in advance
