Hello, I've downloaded many playlists already. But I did not know that I can use template names with serial number with youtube-dl

My question is, can I rename all the playlists that I have downloaded already with a template name?
I know it sounds weird, but I need it badly

No.

Wait, can I get a .txt file listing all the videos in a playlist sequentially? It may help me

Redirect stdout to file.

How? Youtube-dl stdout prints many things
