I am using windows exe version 2016.12.01. I am using the following command to export download links from a youtube playlist to a text file:

youtube-dl -g -i https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyXl5CNwJ_jurJpF5heFK75oeWpq9AdvP>downloadlinks.txt

when i do batch import of links into my download manager(idm), the videos save with the name videoplayback, videoplayback2, videoplayback3,etc and not as the video name in the youtube webpage.

Filenames are different from URLs. If you want filenames, use -j instead of -g
