I don't want this... ^^

How do I download a YouTube playlist (or channel) and have all the videos in a single directory with their original YouTube titles and NFOs written for Kodi as a TV show? Having spent hours over days in the documentation (which a lot of seems to 404) I don't seem to be able to do this if it's possible, help please.

Why? Because this...

doesn't require a season structure, I just want to add a playlist as a TV show, without season directories or weird episode titles like s2021.e031701

It is possible - see the following docs: https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/prebuilt_presets/tv_shows.html#example

You will want season_by_collection__episode_by_playlist_index for episode numbering
