Hi @cdeex,

Are you still having this same issue? I am able to fetch this URL without any breaking errors, albeit with the same zero-item playlist result already noted in issues #15197 and #16057.

Cheers,

Parmjit V.

This is open from 1 year and I think the issue started even before. Many other tickets are open for the same issue or an issue related to this one. Is there anyone working on this ? How hard would it be to solve it ? Why is it so different than another website to scrap the URL from a page ?
