Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I wrote for myself a batch file from which I call youtube-dl, but if I pass the full link to the playlist, it gives me an error, if I pass only the id of the playlist then the download starts without errors.

Most likely you did not properly pass/escape the URL. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL38DFE33C78765533 got split into https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list and PL38DFE33C78765533.
