Question

I want to get the latest youtube video from a user channel. I tried the following command

   youtube-dl --date now  -f best https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMKiY_wDgXFaY8Xq-VG41EQ

But the user's channel has 271 pages, it attempts to download all the pages which takes too much time. I checked out the page, latest video is always in the first page.
How can I force youtube-dl to check only the first page for the latest video?

Read FAQ.

--playlist-start NUMBER          Playlist video to start at (default is 1)
--playlist-end NUMBER            Playlist video to end at (default is last)
