If you add the option --write-pages, you'll see multiple files written to disk. Can you upload them https://gist.github.com/? If you're worried about privacy, feel free to [send them to me via private email](mailto:phihag@phihag.de?subject=youtube-dl:issue+2542:--write-pages output).

taking a look at this, it would appear that my issue is with my 2 Factor Auth.

I did create an app password and tried with that, but no luck

[FernandoMiguel]

this is the output of using an app password from https://accounts.google.com/b/0/IssuedAuthSubTokens

Since this seems to be a a problem with the application specific password (it works fine here with the standard credentials), I think we can close this as a duplicate of #1336.

The problem seems to be unsolved still because for me, it still gives 0 videos if I try to download my subscriptions via youtube-dl. Also, I don't understand why it is a problem with authentication, because if I enter a wrong password it tells me that. I run "youtube-dl :ytsubs --username=...", then it asks for my password, goes on if its correct and extracts the feed: 0 videos... If I am doing something wrong here, what do I have to change to get it working?

EDIT: OK, I saw that I actually had 2 factor activated (although I didn't know that), deactivated it and now it WORKS! So sorry for that...

[LollenJumplan]

I am experiencing the issue again although my 2-factor auth is turned off at the moment. Also, verbose is not showing any errors. Output:
