Nevermind, I just realized my stupidity.

Please tell us how you fixed it...

How did you fixed it ???
because i'm trying to download all videos from a certain channel @ youtube and i get:
ERROR: u'content_html' all the time and none of the videos is getting downloaded

[itsnotmyfault1]

The way I fixed it was after looking at #25768 I added the

--playlist-start 1 --playlist-end 50

flags, and it started downloading properly. When that batch is done I'll just do

--playlist-start 51 --playlist-end 100

As a side note, I am running 2020.03.24 because that is what is in the Ubuntu PPA. This problem may have been fixed in more current versions.
