I have the same issue, anyone knows how to fix this?

Same, just set this up on Docker hoping to replace the process of using an Android app before moving it over to my Emby/Jellyfin box. A single video will give quality options but a playlist will not, only Max.

The issue here is the formatting of the URL. If you paste the following instead it will work:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PL2At1KtEs2fLtG1E1KHBI1AvRr6t2vK1a

Not really sure how to address this behavior. There's two ways we can handle URLs that include the playlist ID (the stuff after list= and the video ID (the stuff after v=):

• Download the playlist
• Only download the video <-- this is what we do right now

Sounds like y'all are expecting the first option. Maybe we can add a little non-intrusive pop-up that says "Is this a playlist?" when you paste the URL and if you click OK it will convert the URL to not include the v= stuff so it will properly be treated like a playlist download.

I just tried changing the '/playlist?list=' to '/watch?list=' and it showed the loading symbol next to the quality options for a bit but in the end still only showed me Max. Edit: Thinking maybe it was just my list I tried the edited URL you gave and still only got the Max option.

Is there any update on this? I've tried using the format mentioned, removing the v= portion of the URL, and that does not work. A .json file gets downloaded instead of any videos.
