Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I use the following script for youtube-dl: youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio/best --download-archive a.txt --merge-output-format mkv -i --all-subs --embed-subs --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata --write-annotations --write-description --write-info-json --write-thumbnail --write-sub -v -o "%(uploader)s/%(title)s %(id)s.%(ext)s" --yes-playlist VIDEO. However, when I download certain Bandcamp albums (ex: https://gilvasunner.bandcamp.com/album/siivagunner-starter-kit-essentials) the uploader varies by song. I'd like a way for the to get the channel of all these songs (so everything would go in a GilvaSunner folder). Is there a way to do this, or will the functionality of the Bandcamp extractor need to be changed to support this?

Figured out how to do this, it's uploader_id.
