Question

Hi. I wish to know the total duration and total filesize of a given large YouTube channel or channel playlist. I'm wondering how this can be done using youtube-dl, and what is the easiest method to do this?

Total duration and total filesize are too ambiguous notions. Extract playlist metadata as JSON and do whatever analytics you need.
