I'd like to get (better) playlist support for The Daily Show.

If I toss 'http://www.cc.com/shows/the-daily-show-with-trevor-noah' at youtube-dl, it fails. If I toss the individual show URLs, it successfully finds all (usually 4) parts and downloads all of them.

Looking at the web page, it seems that there is only 1 or two episodes on the page itself, and the rest are fetched via javascript.

If I toss ":tds" (which I only found by looking at other reports from people with issues), then it fetches some, but not all, of the videos.

===

Separate Q: Where can I see a list of all the playlist shortcuts like :tds? (Real Time, Charlie Rose, PBS News Hour?)

And hoping youtube-dl can combine different clips into one whole episode automatically as well

So :tds only returns one episode (4 parts)?

Episode was already downloaded, but apparently I need to do this automatically, daily, while everything else I can do weekly.
