Private playlists not found by youtube-dl

[eRJe79]

When I tell youtube-dl to download the root of my youtube account (all playlists), it will not find the private playlists and thus they are being skipped. Even though I did add --username and --password in the command.

There are no errors, just the message after execution that only 6 playlists are found (the only public ones).

When I point one (1) private playlist (and the account credentials), the download starts but stops during the first song. For some reason the playlist name is not recognized by youtube-dl and the song is downloaded to a NA folder (not available?).

According to the log you pass video URL not a playlist URL. It's impossible to resolve playlist by video URL that's why you get NA for playlist name.

In the example that is in the log above, I used the following link in the execution of youtube-dl

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFy7RKxDx5bwAVQoFVI3iseqjVMzxXqoq

It is the link that I gett when I click on a playlist. Should I get the link differently?

In the first issue, where only public playlists are processed, I used:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ1Wtj_zkcFsA-qge-wG-Eg/playlists

to point youtube-dl to the root of my playlists. I've made them all public now, so youtube-dl was able to download almost every song, accept for the restricted ones which is normal behaviour of course.

Fixed in youtube-dl 2016.01.31.
