This link you gave does not have the video. If the link http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PL3ngyh53O02CnHBb69HMZNwdvWo8w3MKW?&alt=json

is changed to http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3ngyh53O02CnHBb69HMZNwdvWo8w3MKW

the download works just fine.

Which RSS page?, we could add support for it, but I don't think it's too common to get the urls in that format, because they don't contain the real playlist page.

I know it contains videos (the playlist id is in the url), my question is where do you get the https://gdata.youtube.com/* url from?
