Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Channel downloading from youtube stopped working a few days ago. I guess its because of the redesign. I followed some bugreports (#14083) and this are closed now with a commit that should make it work again. So i upgraded youtube-dl and its still impossible for me to download from this two channels: https://www.youtube.com/user/Insi456 and https://www.youtube.com/user/DickensDucktailDick. There are videos in this channels so i dont know what the problem could be. I read in the bug reports that it can have something to do with the number of videos on this channel. But i thought this got fixed.

Hmm, that's odd, cuz right at this moment I'm downloading entire users and playlists with 2017.09.02, while it didn't work with versions before that after the redesign.
