Unfortunately this content appears to be throwing HTTP 500 server errors while downloading according to the verbose output.
If anyone has that content I'd be interested to know what worked for you.
- jtokoph 10y agoI have no clue why that error is happening but I was getting the same result. Skipping the first video got it to run for me: youtube-dl --playlist-start 2 "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-XXv-cvA_iDD4nnsfVIqPFORTgZi9xRp"
- i336_ 10y agoFor whatever reason the first video is downloading fine for me [edit: no it's not, see below]. Try again maybe? If it still refuses to work for anyone else, I have like 80KB/s upload (ADSL2+ FTL) but I'm fine with uploading it. EDIT - HERE YOU GO: The highest quality video (format code 136) is WORKING, but the highest quality (189k) audio (format code 251) is what's failing. So fall back to the next highest quality (132k; format code 140). So '-f 136+140'. I've __successfully__ downloaded with these settings.
- reachtarunhere 10y agoEven I don't know what was causing it to be failed. What worked for me was downloading starting from the 3rd video and then downloading the 2nd with the help of a firefox plugin.
