If content is playing in the 'Watch Later' playlist on YouTube, huffduff-video returns this error...

Here are the supported sites. If this site isn't supported, it may also post its videos on YouTube. Try there!

If I search for the video title and play it outside the list, it works as expected.

This doesn't apply to videos within a playlist that I created in YouTube.

interesting!

sadly, this is a limit of youtube-dl (details below), not huffduffer-video, so i'd probably have to classify this as "won't fix." apologies. if you're interested in diving into youtube-dl's code, though, you might be able to fix it yourself!
