Description
youtube playlist downloads seem to have broken sometime within the last few hours. it was working earlier this morning, now all playlists result in "0 videos" from youtube-dlc. presumably youtube made a schema change which broke youtube-dlc.
Individual video downloads still work, for example this works perfectly:
youtube-dlc.exe --ignore-config -i -o "%(uploader)s (%(uploader_id)s)/%(upload_date)s - %(title)s - (%(duration)ss) [%(resolution)s] [%(id)s].%(ext)s" --prefer-ffmpeg --merge-output-format mkv --write-sub --all-subs --convert-subs srt --add-metadata --write-description --write-annotations --write-all-thumbnails --write-info-json --cookies youtube-cookies.txt -v --proxy "" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SXGAiTjFiMA
