[YouTube Downloader] Handle Youtube Playlist links

[chrismessina]

Extension

https://www.raycast.com/vimtor/youtube-downloader

Description

It's not clear if the issue is because the video is from a recent livestream or that the link itself contains a reference to a playlist, but the YouTube Downloader can't seem to process it successfully.

This is the error I got:

TypeError: Expected a finite number, got number: NaN

GO:index.tsx:20:41

---
17: import fs from "fs";
18: 
19: export default function DownloadVideo() {
20:   const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false);
21:   const [title, setTitle] = useState("");
22:   const [formats, setFormats] = useState<videoFormat[]>([]);
23:   const [error, setError] = useState(0);

Current Behaviour

YouTube Downloader is unable to download this video.

Expected Behaviour

YouTube Downloader should be able to handle playlists; it could:

• offer a list of videos from the playlist to be downloaded individually
• download all of the videos in the playlist
• report an error that playlists aren't supported

Looking more deeply at this, it may be because:

1. The livestream was still happening. It seemed to also be available here.
2. The file hadn't finished processing.

In any case — better error handling would be useful for live events and playlists!

Hey @chrismessina!

You are 100% right we could add better error handling for these two cases.

I will implement it in the next batch of updates for the extension.
