Seems to happen when the playlist has more than 100 items, the "Load more" is not working

[Balun-Symmetrie]

Hmm I have had similar Issues with almost any other downloadapp I sofar tried.

Is there a solution or a easy workaround?
ed: it seems youtube got a nice little update just now..

I have the same problem. Repro:

hendrik ~/music % youtube-dl --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" --playlist-start 101 --playlist-end 200 -i "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=FLc4IMSDR2Lgyo1gbCWGqhzw"
