youtube-dl isn't properly collecting video IDs for YouTube show channels if there are no "seasons" registered.
I tried
youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/show/allyourhistory/videosand no videos were downloaded. Log attached below.I also tried another "show" channel
$ youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/show/101east/videos --dateafter 20150101and no videos were downloaded. The intended effect was to download videos published after 2015/01/01.It is possible to manually each download episode by copying and pasting a direct YouTube link though you can't use video selectors (
--playlist-start,--dateafter,--match-titleetc) or download in bulk.YouTube URLs I tested which are not working are:
https://www.youtube.com/show/allyourhistory/videos
https://www.youtube.com/show/101east/videos
https://www.youtube.com/show/wwe/videos
https://www.youtube.com/show/topgear/videos
Selected YouTube shows are free to view and not geo-blocked.
