I was willing to download following channel:
https://www.youtube.com/user/ChannelTank/playlists

As you can see there are many files and many sub-playlists.
Problem is that youtube-dl download everything into single place - current folder. It would be nice to mirror playlist hierarchy on a local disk.
Would it be possible to download playlist recursively. I mean if next url to download is not a video file , but a playlist, youtube-dl could create a subfolder with same name as playlist's title and recursively call itself in the subfolder to download a new playlist.

thanks
