Done downloading 0 videos

Hello! Since this is not a youtube-dl repo, I figured I wouldn’t ask my question here. I put in a channel link, and it says the following: [youtube:channel] UCIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading channel page [youtube:playlist] UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading webpage [download] Downloading playlist: UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg [youtube:playlist] playlist UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg: Downloading 0 videos [download] Finished downloading playlist: UUIcgBZ9hEJxHv6r_jDYOMqg

Can you help with this please? Thanks!

Wow guys I recognized that playlist link…

Workaround: Use any online tool to get all playlist links and put them in a list and pass the list to the downloader.

with open('list.json') as f:
    links = json.load(f)
with youtube_dl.YoutubeDL(ydl_opts) as ydl:
    ydl.download(links)

So, if one made this json file for the example playlist above you’d get this: https://gist.github.com/akraus53/659c4c37713de29d70f1bdc9822a80b0

Hi! Could you explain this to me and how to do it please? I don’t understand a single word 😅
