Hey, this seems to be broken for a few days (weeks?) now. The command as is should download all videos from all playlists on given channel. I mainly use it for downloading my playlists, but for simplification I stripped the command to just basic stuff and tried a public channel. I also tried the OG yt-dl, where it also doesn’t work, so I guess this is some change on Youtube’s side.

Yes, thats basically it. I dont care about all uploads, I just want the playlists.

I have a fix for this bug pending on another repo:

l1ving/youtube-dl#32

The regexes that match the Load more key and the playlist IDs were broken that’s all.

I will make a PR for this here shortly.

Haven’t looked into it but I assume it’s using the new endpoint youtube is using so it should give you some json response.
