## Description

youtube-dl will download the first of three video segments only. In times past all three would have been downloaded. I'm not sure why the playlist isn't being followed.

Except it IS available on the web site. Again, this USED TO WORK

It appears that if you pass a format as an option, youtube-dl will fail at first video in a playlist that does not have that format. There are at least two easy solutions:

• do not pass any format and youtube-dl will auto choose best format for each video
• download single videos (acts) by using playlist options like --playlist-start --playlist-end or --playlist-items
