YouTube: -j --flat-playlist with channel URL doesn't get titles; with user URL it does #4971

I've also just discovered that it's happening with |
I just updated to
2015.02.17.2. I noticed that YouTube/channel/URLs are handled differently than/user/URLs. When I use-j --flat-playlist, the video titles are retrieved for the/user/URLs, but not for the/channel/URLs:This is inconvenient, because I have a wrapper script that uses
youtube-dlto download playlist data and videos, and this requires handling the two URL types differently. It seems like the two URLs should output the same data when retrieved with the sameyoutube-dloptions.Thanks for your work on
youtube-dl!
