--match-filter fails when using a YouTube channel as download url

[GijsTimmers]

For instance, this works:

$ youtube-dl --match-filter "upload_date" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cU2dZz18P0c
[youtube] cU2dZz18P0c: Downloading webpage
[youtube] cU2dZz18P0c: Extracting video information
[youtube] cU2dZz18P0c: Downloading DASH manifest
[download] Destination: How long does it take for the earth to go around the sun-cU2dZz18P0c.mp4
[download]   4.0% of 24.99MiB at 851.09KiB/s ETA 00:28^C

But this does not work:

$ youtube-dl --match-filter "upload_date" https://www.youtube.com/user/1veritasium/videos 
[download] Downloading playlist: 1veritasium
[youtube:user] 1veritasium: Downloading video ids from 1 to 51
[youtube:user] 1veritasium: Downloading video ids from 51 to 101
[youtube:user] 1veritasium: Downloading video ids from 101 to 151
[youtube:user] 1veritasium: Downloading video ids from 151 to 201

Thank you for the report. The problem is that at the time we're matching, we don't have all the information yet. Therefore, we must wait until the video information is actually resolved (i.e. we have read the video webpage).

I've done exactly that in youtube-dl 2015.02.10.4. See our FAQ if you need help updating.

Works, thank you!
