Please post the full output you get when running youtube-dl --verbose PLAYLIST_URL, otherwise we can't do anything.

Hi, @mog,
Thanks for your report, however, I can't reproduce the error with your given URL. You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl (2014.02.17) and the canalplus extractor has seen quite some changes since then, so I would encourage you to update youtube-dl to the latest version and try again. Also, your issue might be unrelated to ricardors19, so if you still experience issues after updating, please open a new issue with the output of youtube-dl with the --verbose flag on.

Indeed it does solve the problem

I can reproduce that bug on newer versions of youtube-dl, see #6301
