Hi,

When I want to download only the first video from a playlist I use --playlist-end 1 parameter but it doesn't work properly with tudou videos. Youtube-dl does download only the first video but prior to that it fetches metadata for all videos:

C:\WINDOWS\system32>youtube-dl --verbose --playlist-start 1 --playlist-end 1 http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ArQIeOFHpSE/
[debug] System config: []

Could you fix that please if this is a bug?

Thanks

This will be fixed in the next version. By the way, you can use --playlist-item in this case:

youtube-dl --verbose --playlist-item 1 http://www.tudou.com/programs/view/ArQIeOFHpSE/
