Hi,
I get an error with the updated (youtube-dl -U) version.
I tried to use my "View Later" playlist in youtube to download all the videos for a series of audiobooks, 140 videos in total.

Is there any maximum number of videos that can be handled in a playlist?
If I use another playlist with about 60 videos it works fine.

You will most likely not be able to access the playlist as this ist the standard youtube playlist.

Here is the verbose output:

Since the list is private you'll need to use the your login info with the --username or --netrc option, I've tested with my watch later list and it works.
You may also prefer to run the shortcut youtube-dl :ytwatchlater --netrc.

If you found any problem using these steps, feel free to ask.

Ahhh thank you so much JaimeMF.

When going on with testing I had the thought that this might be the reason, but was not sure.

Thanks again, works perfect..
