Hi, I deployed this app to GAE, it's working fine but somethings wrong while trying to get links of a playlist (youtube)

http://since....appspot.com/api/?url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAP-Xj4Fz18&list=FLm7zmYIDWXpE5aIuXLYlpvA

You can try my deployment by the url above. It returns first video of playlist only. It's weird!! I know since your deployment at:

http://youtube-dl.appspot.com/api/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCAP-Xj4Fz18%26list%3DFLm7zmYIDWXpE5aIuXLYlpvA

is working fine. Could you have a look and tell me the reason? Thank you very much! :+1:

Oh, I just tried:

http://sinc.appspot.com/api/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DCAP-Xj4Fz18%26list%3DFLm7zmYIDWXpE5aIuXLYlpvA

My gosh, I don't know why!! :|

The problem is that you have to escape the url (as you did in the second url). Otherwise when processing the request, it actually gets two arguments:

{
  'url': 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CAP-Xj4Fz18',
  'list': 'FLm7zmYIDWXpE5aIuXLYlpvA',
}
