Description

When downloading a YouTube channel with multiple playlists all playlists get download into one folder named: "Uploads from channel_name" instead of each playlist downloaded into it's own folder.

[numlockkey]

So is there going to be a fix for this problem?

[videokhoahoc]

same questtion

[emrahkilic]

same problem here. it does not create a folder for each playlist. plus, it downloads all videos from the channel without ever checking whether it's in a playlist or not.
