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!

Exactly the same is happening for me but with another Playlist!

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:

Is there a version to use in Powershell?

@ezanchi Assuming you had the list in list.json formatted the same as the given example list, a quick-and-dirty script would be the following:

Get-Content ./list.json | ConvertFrom-Json | % {
 youtube-dl $_
}

IT WORKS.

Thank you guys!! You saved me so much time!

Do you have any idea on why is youtube-dl not downloading the playlist by itself?
