playlist_index doesn't work #292

According to yt-dlp output template playlist_index should add the index of the video in the playlist to the filename. I've tried with "Custom" settings and this %(playlist_index)s-%(title).200s.%(ext)s and %(playlist_index)2d-%(title).200s.%(ext)s but they don't work. Some playlists don't have any numbering in the video titles but they are meant to be watched in order. Please check this issue out ASAP. Thanks!

This outputting format works fine when used in other youtube-dl based apps (like Youtube-DLG) but as OP says, it doesn't add the index number in this app. Would be good to have this fixed as this app is otherwise excellent!

I need this feature too.

We need this function worked normally.
