While trying to backup my favorites, youtube-dl failed with this output:

[REDACTED] is everything above the folder containing youtube-dl. I successfully used youtube-dl to back up the channels of other users, and this is the only issue.

That's weird: I got the error, I logged into youtube.com in a browser to see if something had changed and the I could use youtube-dl to download the favourites. I'll try to reproduce it again.

I should have mentioned that I was doing this through a VPS. I used Midori to log in to the account on the VPS, and now it is working without a problem.

I guess that can be closed then, If anyone can reproduce it, we will reopen the issue.
