[Feature Request] Download an entire playlist #4

Closed pocco81 closed 3 years ago

Instead of downloading a video one by one users might as well create playlists and download all the videos in that given playlist. If that's not possible, then add a wget like feature to download all the links in a given .txt file (-i flag in the case of wget).

This will make life way more easier for people collecting videos for video production purposes that need extensive material for their projects.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, I have gotten this feature request quite a bit, and I am working on implementing it seriously. My proposed way of doing so is inputting a text file with one youtube url per line. The app will then download one-by-one each url specified.

youtube-dl supports playlists, you just need a correct YouTube link, like this one: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=

As per your suggestion, the easiest solution was to use the built-in function of youtube-dl. I have added a checkbox to enable the downloading of youtube playlist links. If you enter a playlist url without checking the playlist button, it will still just download one video as before, you have to enable playlist for it to download the whole thing.
