Question

I am trying to download all the videos on a channel that has 59 videos on it but youtube-dl is only detecting and downloading 11 videos from the channel. I searched through the open and closed issues but could not find one that matched my exact issue. What should I do differently? This is the command that I am using:

$ youtube-dl -v --cookies "cookies.txt" -i -f best[height<=360] "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_AkEUxYb7TvE0PPHQxQIog"
