Description

I noticed a problem: If I want to download all playlist of a channel which has a /c/ link, youtube-dl just finds one playlist (Uploads of <Channellist>) but not all other playlists like with a /user/ link.

2 links where it is not working: https://www.youtube.com/c/GotoConferences/playlists, https://www.youtube.com/c/CodingGardenwithCJ/playlists

link where it works: https://www.youtube.com/user/TheDeepForces/playlists,

Came here to report the same issue. I am however not sure that it is related to /c/ or /user/ link.
OP: as a workaround you can try https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLNgu_OupwoeESgtab33CCw/playlists and https://www.youtube.com/user/GotoConferences/playlists but it seems to depend on the channel what link you should follow.

Hey @stynoo :) Thanks for the workaround. How did you found the channel id for the channel?

I just noticed that all my /c/ links playlist downloads didn't work, thats why I assumed it has something to do with it.

I use the youtube search box to search for 'CodingGardenwithCJ' and when you follow the first result it lands you right on that page. I am once again not sure that that will work in every case, but I got good results so far.

So it will be in the next Release?
