Description of your issue and other information

If you try to fetch video id's from a YouTube playlist via youtube-dl --get-id <playlist> it works for some playlist and for some it doesn't.

Note: that the last 11 signs of working playlists ID's matches to a video inside the playlist, while it doesn't on non working playlists even though the latter playlist works on YouTube.

As seen from the log video Kol5fcLtm-g does not exist thus technically Kol5fcLtm-g is not a valid video id. Use -i to skip such errors.

Oh, shame on me. I thought there was a problem with the playlist ID itself not just that he stopped because he couldn't get one video.
