Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Season playlists no longer work. Individual episode links (http://www.aetv.com/shows/duck-dynasty/season-11/episode-1) do still download.

Hey,

Thanks for software

+1

The following options still generate output but it's not correct:

playlist: Name or id of the playlist that contains the video
playlist_index: Index of the video in the playlist padded with leading zeros according to the total length of the playlist
playlist_id: Playlist identifier
playlist_title: Playlist title

For example, despite a channel/user having >1 playlist, use of playlist will only generate a single value (i.e. "Uploads from [channel/user]"). This indicates to me either a) I'm not using the option correctly or b) playlists are being ignored.

Let me know if you have any issues - happy to help

Hope this is clear/useful

Hope to hear back

Yours faithfully

I don't have an Adobe Pass account so I can't download it. At least 10 episodes are recognized correctly. Are you still encountering problems?

@ldexterldesign Sounds a different problem. If you think it's a bug/missing feature, please open a new issue and describe your expectations and actual results.

[remitamine]

i guess locked issues can't be closed from commit message, this is a problem, i think it can affect some of the other commits as well.
the commit for closing the issue was b51a4eb.

[StevenDTX]

I thought I saw a note about this working a couple of versions ago, but now I cannot find where that was posted.

It is working now. Thanks!

[ldexterldesign]

Apologies for delay

Ignore #11669 (comment) - I was using syntax incorrectly for my requirement (i.e. give me a user's videos organised by playlist)

I expected playlist criteria to output in the file name but (some of?) the template names actually output as folder structure; so something like this works for me:

youtube-dl -o '%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s - %(upload_date)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s' [url] --ignore-errors --playlist-reverse

Hope this is clear/useful
