Description

I am trying to download the enitire channel:

youtube-dl -v -i -f mp4 --yes-playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=UUep6EY7zkjn7uYSEqJktnhA > log.txt

At some point I get the following message in the cmd

youtube_dl.utils.ExtractorError: This video contains content from WMG, who has blocked it on copyright grounds. Sorry about that.

I stopped the download by closing the application. Log.txt attached.
My question is: exactly what video failed to download because of the copyright block? I dont see any clues ion log.txt. Can you please add that info to Log.txt? I want to know which video I need to download manually.
