That's over 100 playlist for one channel.

Unfortunately, it's not possible (as far as I know).

youtube-dl (and therefore Tartube) doesn't know anything about channels and playlists. It sees a webpage with zero, one or multiple videos on it.

It is you who chooses how Tartube handles this webpage when you click the Add Video, Add Channel or Add Playlist buttons.

(You can test this for yourself by adding a channel with a video link, or vice versa).

Hey,
this is possible with yt-dlp (also tested with youtube-dl).
Running this command

yt-dlp -r 3M -o "%(uploader)s/%(playlist)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s" \
  https://www.youtube.com/c/wenkatn-justmeandopensource/playlists

will download the videos in their respective playlist folder:

Tartube v2.3.393 includes a method to extract playlists from a YouTube channel (almost) automatically, see here.

It should be very close to what @strunberg originally wanted.
