Playlists?

[Yankees4life]

Hello there

This tool looks pretty good but I see that it only uses channels. Any plans to include playlists too?

I have a watch later playlist that I would love to place in my JF library

Cheers

Hello dude, check the last commit in main branch. I added a few lines to accept playlist, just add your public playlists id with "list-" prefix in your channel_list.json

[
    "/user/xbox",
    "list-PLbZIPy20-1pN7mqjckepWF78ndb6ci_qi"
]

Tell me if working or not

A comma is missing in yor channel list (between "@deportes" and "list...")

Haha. Yep. I now realized that. But now I'm still getting Errno error

[fe80Grau]

Maybe double counterslash for windows folders? "strm_output_folder" : "F:\youtube",

Did that...and same error

[fe80Grau]

Ok, back to home I was able to reproduce your case, I was not aware of the Windows file name restrictions. That was breaking the pipe and hiding the real error. Using the sanitize_filename library solves this. I've updated it in the requirements.txt file and edited the code to avoid pipe breaks by using getoutput in all yt-dlp commands.

Pull the last commit and make sure you have the sanitize_filename library installed in python pip install sanitize_filename

***For config.json "strm_output_folder" put this: F:/youtube (only one slash, it's working fine on my PC) Check and tell me

[Yankees4life]

OK, now that worked
