with link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zTYIKJOM9Y&list=RD3zTYIKJOM9Y

I have used the following command:
youtube-dl --verbose "yttoplist:music:Mix van: Delilah - Inside My Love (Redlight Remix)" but this only results in an error. Am i doing something wrong?

Actually, you can just run youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zTYIKJOM9Y&list=RD3zTYIKJOM9Y"

It's still a bug though - shouldn't both behaviors be supported?

The toplist extractor was for playlists like this one (see #1868), they needed special treatment because they couldn't be accessed with an url, that's why you had to use youtube-dl yttoplist:music:Popular Music Videos. I have actually removed the extractor in 2f985f4bb4 because they are normal playlists now.

But the url posted here is different, it's a mix generated for the video 3zTYIKJOM9Y.
