WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
Since few days, I'm not able to download playlists on youtube.
Error message is:
ERROR: Unable to download JSON metadata: <urlopen error [Errno 111] Connection refused> (caused by URLError(ConnectionRefusedError(111, 'Connection refused'),))
I'd tested on my config (linuxmint tricia) and on a manjaro vbox machine but the result is the same...

I cannot reproduce on version 2020.01.01, macOS 10.15.2 and python 3.7.4 with the same url and cli-args. For me, it gave me a certificate error which you can fix with --no-check-certificate.

Network issue on your side.

[dewiweb]
