Description
The feature I think can be added is downloading single videos and playlist in their respective folders with one option. This already possible with the current version but requires two different codes and two different links.
I wanted to download a whole channel for offline usage. I created a very simple bat file. I am sharing it here and maybe it can be integrated with youtube-dl in future updates.
It downloads every playlist in their respective folder then goes back to the videos tab and try to download all videos with dates attached to head of their name, while doing that uses download archive option to not download same video twice
youtube download channel.txt
There can be an option like --download-channel which somehow uses a modified version of the code.
If you want to use this bat file you need to add the path to youtube-dl, I did it with moving youtube.exe file to the windows folder.
