When I'm trying to download all the videos from the Youtube user account Isvaffel2010, Youtube-dl just downloads video list pages but doesn't get to downloading the actual videos at all. Other channels I have tried have worked fine, somehow the problem seems to be specific to Isvaffel2010:s channel (although the bug can of course affect some other channels as well).

The command I run:
youtube-dl -o "~/isvaffel2010/%(upload_date)s_%(title)s_%(id)s.%(ext)s" --write-description --username xxxxxx --password yyyyyy -f best/18 -v --no-overwrites --restrict-filenames --playlist-end 800 https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUhSBvT-fcrzzcAlFFGvMarA
Youtube-dl version: 2014.09.29.2
Python version: Python 2.7.3
My operating system is Xbian release candidate 3 on Raspberry Pi, based on Raspbian.

The when I run youtube-dl this is the (clipped) output I get

Unfortunately it looks like a problem in Youtube itself, it says there are 708 videos in the playlist, but if you click in the Load more button you can only get the first 700 videos. And if you try to play the playlist the same happens.

If you want to get the first 700 videos, you can use the user url: youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/user/Isvaffel2010'.
