Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I would want an option to download the last video available in a playlist. Example:
youtube-dl --playlist-last https://www.crunchyroll.com/kinos-journey-the-beautiful-world-the-animated-series will download the last video of the playlist.

As you can see, this downloads the first video, not the last available. Please re-open.

Bother to open this page and see which video is first and which is last.

[percheperche]

Sorry?
I can't really understand what you mean.
I want to make a batch that will download the last video available in a Crunchyroll playlist.
--playlist-items 1 -- playlist-reverse doesn't work because it downloads the first video, not the last.
Let's say this is the page
youtube-dl --playlist-items 1 --playlist-reverse https://www.crunchyroll.com/tsurune
as of 11/29/2018 should download this but it actually downloads the first one

[dstftw]

Again: serie 1 is the last video in playlist because CR lists series in playlist in reverse order. Thus to download the last serie you must download the first video from in the playlist.
