Yt-dlp Download Youtube Playlist

Show all headers | View raw

As I said in the title. I would like to create a playlist on youtube and download the entire thing. I tried searching this sub for an answer but all I found were how to tweak stuff in a more advanced manner. Not how to start doing it. Sorry if this has been posted before.


Hey all, to improve my workflow when playing around with DJ ideas, I download audio and video files from multiple YouTube playlists to use in my work. I've created a simple script to automate this process on your Mac. It will create separate folders for each playlist and download the files in the appropriate formats. Please note that the YouTube playlists must be set as either public or unlisted for this script to work.

The script will loop through each playlist URL and download the audio and video files. It first gets the playlist title and creates a "safe" version of it by replacing characters that are not allowed in folder names. Then, it creates separate folders for audio and video files if they don't already exist.


What I think the script needs to do:

Look into the NHL youtube account, in the Highlights playlist and get the url of the latest video that contains my team's name in the title. Then run mpv


Another possible approach:

I saw yt-dlp has --title and --date options so it might be easier to automate filling these options, although I also wouldn't know how to use that in conjunction with mpv. As I said, I want to stream the video, not download it locally.


I took the liberty to guess the playlist on youtube and used Sharks as the search term.

The `--playlist-end=50` is arbitrary (to reduce the number of requests and time) and should defniitly be changed, maybe you could leverage the `--date` flag from youtube-dl.


Hello. Is there a way to download only filenames from youtube's playlists (or videos with zero size)? i use Dopus for extra quick search in filenames from YT's playlists, creating new empty text files with video names from playlists. the problem is that with a large number of files in the playlist (800-1000), it is very difficult to get the names manually.


YT-DLP is a free and open-source software project created (as a fork) from the now-discontinued project, youtube-dlc. yt-dlp is based on the popular YouTube downloader, youtube-dlc, but now comes with additional features and improvements. This software is basically used to download videos from YouTube, Vimeo, and other similar websites.






As you might already know, yt-dlp is a command-line tool, so to use it (in Windows or Linux), you will have to go through the command prompt or terminal. If you have already downloaded, and installed it along with its dependencies, go ahead and open your terminal.


Disclaimer: Downloading videos from YouTube using tools like yt-dlp may potentially infringe upon the terms of service, copyrights, and intellectual property rights of content creators. It is important to recognize and comply with the applicable laws and regulations regarding the downloading and distribution of copyrighted material in your jurisdiction. This note does not constitute legal advice and should not be relied upon as such.


The plugin yt-dlp also offers the option to establish a range of defaults that it will automatically implement, including a preferred video format such as mkv, mp4, webm, etc. To create a configuration file that yt-dlp can use, enter supported commands into the configuration file. The config file can be loaded from the system (/etc/yt-dlp.conf), user configuration, home configuration, portable or main configuration.


Another way you can optimize your download process with yt-dlp is to use bashrc files. These files contain shell (command-line interface) settings for the Bash shell. The bashrc file is executed every time a new terminal session is opened, and it can be used to configure various settings and aliases for the shell. The bashrc file can be very useful for yt-dlp, because you can use it to set up aliases or shell functions that simplify the usage of yt-dlp. For example, you can create an alias that automatically downloads a video in your preferred format and quality by typing a single command in the terminal. This can save you time and make it easier to use yt-dlp regularly.


If you download and manage large amounts of data with yt-dlp, then a seedbox can be a fantastic solution. A seedbox is a remote VPS or dedicated server designed for anonymous download and upload of digital files, such as torrents, NZBs, videos, and music. Plus, since seedboxes are designed for downloading and uploading, they usually offer high speeds. 


For instance, you can remotely connect to your seedbox and use its powerful resources to download videos with yt-dlp. Seedboxes also offer streaming platforms like Plex or Kodi and other wonderful ways to manage your media collection. Plus, if you decide later to change the format, compress, or encode, seedboxes also come with robust media converters like Handbrake. You can later download all your media content easily with FTP or Sync protocols.


Although yt-dlp has many great features and characteristics that make it one of the best youtube downloaders, it also has a few disadvantages that you should know about. Here are some pros and cons of using yt-dlp.


A: yt-dlp offers additional features and options not available in youtube-dl. It also has an active development community that ensures that bugs are quickly fixed and new features are added. Check our previous section: Pros & Cons.


Hey everyone!

I've recently finished my first important Rust project and I want to share it with the community.

It is a command-line tool for downloading YouTube videos, with the focus of being as user-friendly as possible.

It works by asking a series of questions to help it generate and execute a yt-dlp command that fits your needs.

You can find more information in the readme, the GitHub repo is -dl


This will create folders with the names provided by playlists.txt, anddownload each playlist to its own folder. You can run it periodically howeveryou feel most comfortable (crontab, systemd timers, etc.) and it should keepall the local copies up to date.


Most of this can be taken care of with various youtube-dl flags! I have afunction called dl_playlist() which implements all of this. Arguments passedto dl_playlist() are transparenltly passed on to any youtube-dl commands,which allows me to pass it a playlist URL, and optionally a proxy.


This writes the current metadata to a dated file, copies that to a temporaryfile, and then renames the temporary file to playlist.json. This allows us tohave a history of the playlist over time, which may make it easier to figureout what videos are missing when they get taken down. playlist.json willalways contain the latest playlist information, to make it easier for me towrite tools for this later.


The rest of the script is just housekeeping around this. It loads playlistsfrom a file, creates separate directories for each one, and randomly shufflesthrough a list of SOCKS proxies for eachplaylist. My VPN provider provides SOCKS proxies for each of their exit nodes,so this is a really convenient way for me to distribute my downloads across abroader range of IP addresses.


NOTE: Legal Disclaimer Again, please bear in mind that you should only proceed to download and reshare a YouTube playlist if you have permission from the content creator. All Aleph with Beth videos are in the Public Domain, and so, I have legal permission to do this. Also, Andrew specifically asked me to do this ?.


There are also various graphical frontends to yt-dlp, such as parabolicAUR, tartubeAUR and yt-dlg-gitAUR. You can also install yt-dlp-drop-inAUR which provides a fake /usr/bin/youtube-dl executable (that just redirects to yt-dlp) for outdated programs that still look for a youtube-dl executable.


The system-wide configuration file is /etc/yt-dlp.conf and the user-specific configuration file is /.config/yt-dlp/config. The syntax is simply one command-line option per line. Example configuration:


yt-dlp is a youtube-dl ( -org/youtube-dl) fork based on the now inactive youtube-dlc ( -dlc). The main focus of this project is adding new features and patches while also keeping up to date with the original project


You can use --ignore-config if you want to disable all configuration files for a particular yt-dlp run. If --ignore-config is found inside any configuration file, no further configuration will be loaded. For example, having the option in the portable configuration file prevents loading of home, user, and system configurations. Additionally, (for backward compatibility) if --ignore-config is found inside the system configuration file, the user configuration is not loaded.


You may also want to configure automatic credentials storage for extractors that support authentication (by providing login and password with --username and --password) in order not to pass credentials as command line arguments on every yt-dlp execution and prevent tracking plain text passwords in the shell command history. You can achieve this using a .netrc file ( ) on a per-extractor basis. For that you will need to create a .netrc file in --netrc-location and restrict permissions to read/write by only you:


The simplest usage of -o is not to set any template arguments when downloading a single file, like in yt-dlp -o funny_video.flv " " (hard-coding file extension like this is not recommended and could break some post-processing).


Additionally, you can set different output templates for the various metadata files separately from the general output template by specifying the type of file followed by the template separated by a colon :. The different file types supported are subtitle, thumbnail, description, annotation (deprecated), infojson, link, pl_thumbnail, pl_description, pl_infojson, chapter, pl_video. E.g. -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -o "thumbnail:%(title)s\%(title)s.%(ext)s" will put the thumbnails in a folder with the same name as the video. If any of the templates is empty, that type of file will not be written. E.g. --write-thumbnail -o "thumbnail:" will write thumbnails only for playlists and not for video.
