Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I tried to download a playlist from youtube and got this error
i think it might be because there is an active premiere right now, i'll try again later once its gone and report here :-)

@dstftw ah i see because the playlist is ordered in the wrong order, and the premiere is the "newest video" i tried downloading with this command youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeF3l-zmPsY&index=3&list=PL64wiCrrxh4Jisi7OcCJIUpguV_f5jGnZ and it still tried to download from the first video. am i doing something wrong?
edit: nevermind read the manual, sorry for wasting your time ):
should have been using --playlist-start and not relying on the url

It also might be helpful to check out the -i, --ignore-errors options:

Continue on download errors, for example to skip unavailable videos in a playlist
