which currently returns 16 "episodes".

But, each episode is actually a playlist of 4 videos.

In other words:

works just fine, downloads the episode as 4 videos.
But I have to do this for ALL episodes (12, in this case -- 3 weeks of missed shows), rather than giving one playlist download that will download 12 playlists of 4 videos.
