YouTube play list you reference takes me to the YouTube home page. Should that play list URL be going to an actual play list?

As @sunk818 mentioned, that is not a valid list ID. In any case, getaddrinfo failed is an error of your network - check your network connectivity and DNS settings. We should clarify it in the output that this is the case.

I also cant reproduce the error, I can confirm it was related to DNS settings.

Thanks
