[req] when downloading a playlist, put videos in ./{playlist-name} directory

Use output template.

Does this work with directories?

youtube-dl $1 -o "%(playlist)/%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s"

I get ERROR: Error in output template: unsupported format character '/' (0x2f) at index 11 (encoding: 'UTF-8')

[dstftw]

Yes. You forgot s after %(playlist).

[chovy]

awesome. thanks! Is there anyway to download a README.md file or metadata about a video and/or playlist?

[dstftw]

README.md of what? Playlist metadata is optional and may contain id, title and description. For playlist it can be saved as JSON with --dump-single-json --flat-playlist. For single video --dump-json or --write-json. Or with --dump-single-json for both playlist and all contained videos.

[chovy]

that worked.
