I'm testing the download on the following videos appearing on user's channel:

$ youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/user/rpmarqua/videos
[download] Downloading playlist: rpmarqua
[youtube:user] rpmarqua: Downloading video ids from 1 to 51
[youtube:user] playlist rpmarqua: Downloading 0 videos

It seems it's detecting 51 videos, but it's downloading none. It's because they're just 'Liked videos'?

We use the gdata api, which doesn't return any video. I think that the youtube:user extractor should only be used for downloading the videos uploaded by the user, for downloading the liked videos you can use the playlist (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=LLYoF43i0nv4hVdhFEIXBdVQ in that case).

Thanks, the playlist seems to work. But then printing numbers from gdata api is wrong, because it's stating it has 51 videos? Or the number comes from the page it-self? Or if there is nothing to fix, it should closed it I think?

The message means that it's trying to get the fisrt 50 videos. Would you use other sentence?
