Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood
I was downloading clips of famous shows on Youtube when I noticed a strange bug.
If I run e.g. yt-dlp https://youtube.com/@TheOffice/videos
all the videos are downloaded nicely.
If I run yt-dlp https://youtube.com/@HouseM.D./videos
, yt-dlp seems to think that the channel has 0 videos and thus exits without downloading anything.
Maybe it has something to do with the dots in the channel tag? I did read the link in the fourth checklist step, but I didn’t find anything related to this.
Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem
- Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (
yt-dlp -vU <your command line>
) - If using API, add
'verbose': True
toYoutubeDL
params instead - Copy the WHOLE output (starting with
