Unable to download shelf?

[tantalate]

Hi, i would like to use this to download a shelf (playlists) like this page.

However, when I use youtube-dl -o './%(playlist_title)s/%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s' "https://www.youtube.com/user/afigfigueira/playlists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=6" to download it, it will download all the files the user have uploaded, and the %(playlist_title)s only gave a title like this Uploads from Arnaldo Pedro Figueira Figueira, not the real titles of the playlists.

Is shelf supported by now?

it seems that shelf is not supported for now, so i wrote this little script to download all playlists in a shelf. Paste it here in case it may help someone.

import requests
import os
#from lxml import etree
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

r = requests.get("http://www.youtube.com/user/afigfigueira/playlists?sort=dd&view=50&shelf_id=6")
#r = requests.get("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LTDmMI4VSCM&list=PLO9y7hOkmmSF2-_mB46a23K2UOkH5ic8T")

html = r.content

# tree = etree.HTML(html)
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml')

lists = soup.find_all('a', class_="yt-uix-tile-link")

for lst in lists:
        print(lst.get('href'))
        os.system("youtube-dl -o '%(playlist)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s' " + "https://www.youtube.com" + lst.get('href'))

@tantalate I thought this was my saviour but I couldn't get it to work. Before I look elsewhere, I might just run what I'm after here to see if it's easily tweaked.

I'm looking to download just the subtitle files (vtt) from each video in each playlist on a shelf. I changed line 20 to read as follows:

os.system("youtube-dl -o --skip-download --all-subs " + "https://www.youtube.com" + lst.get('href'))

but it doesn't do anything, not even an error.

I'm looking at the URL with it's shelf ID and I can't help but notice it seems to be different which I'm wondering is the source of the problem.

This is the URL I'm trying to run it on: https://www.youtube.com/c/mitocw/playlists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=3

I also had a look through the dev tool to find the item beautiful soup is looking for and it wasn't there so maybe youtube has also changed something?

any ideas? tyvm!
