[geosone]

it would be a great addition to download a all the videos in a playlist

[johnnynoone]

Instead of pasting a link to the video, paste a link to the playlist.

I assume you're talking about youtube playlists, @johnnynoone is right you can do youtube-dl 'https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLwiyx1dc3P2JR9N8gQaQN_BCvlSlap7re' and it will download all the videos.
