in the past I have downloaded Youtube's playlists with youtube-dl without any problem. However, now it downloads 0 videos. Could it have something to do with RIAA's DMCA takedown? Any suggestion or solution? The code I usually use is
youtube-dl -i -f mp4 --write-auto-sub --yes-playlist --output './%(title)s.%(ext)s' UUdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ
I have tried with the web URL or the playlist ID, both give me this result:
[youtube:playlist] UUdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ: Downloading webpage
[download] Downloading playlist: UUdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ
[youtube:playlist] playlist UUdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ: Downloading 0 videos
[download] Finished downloading playlist: UUdp4_l1vPmpN-gDbUwhaRUQ
Also, I have uninstalled/updated youtube-dl (just in case) without improve. Thank you in advance,

If the videos are related in some way, remember that youtube-dl can download all videos from a playlist, user, or channel.
For Windows users:Exctract all zip files and move youtube-dl.exe, ffmpeg.exe and ffprobe.exe files to the folder that where you want the downloaded MP3 files. Open cmd (Windows terminal) in same folder. Replace the script {your-youtube-playlist-id} parameter with your YouTube playlist id. Run the script.
On each run of youtube-dl with --download-archive and %(autonumber)s set, youtube-dl will skip over all previously downloaded videos (as expected), but when it reaches a video it hasn't downloaded, it will starting numbering from 00001 again.
If you don't have ffmpeg installed, youtube-dl will by default select the highest quality format that has both audio and video. This maxes out at 720p (and is usually specified by format code 22 so you would download with -f 22 ).
It is an issue with youtube-dl, however the youtube-dlc fork has already fixed it.
You can download directly from GitHub or else download it with pip:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade youtube-dlc
UPDATE: youtube-dl has been restored.
