This “script” will try to download the playlist presented, do so one by one and make a record into My_mix.txt file. So if your power goes out, you can resume, where you stopped. Also it will embed chapters into the file, description and other things.
This part here just outputs a file name with an uploader-video_title-yt_id.extension(.opus)
I also made 2 scripts for downloading videos. One where you download it in best quality possible:
-f bv*+ba/b --embed-subs --embed-metadata --embed-thumbnail --yes-playlist --lazy-playlist --embed-chapters --continue --no-overwrites --ignore-errors --compat-options no-live-chat --download-archive archive_list.txt --xattrs
And other where if you want to archive a channel you don’t need to necessarily the best quality (4K) video for an essay. 1080p or smaller, I found was enough:
You might want to change some settings here. That’s why you should do several test runs on smaller playlists and tweak them however you like. You will also need a VPN for huge playlists, because you will get throttled by ISP (internet service provider) or Youtube.
Yeah !! SLSK, nicotine+ is the best way to get your music. Can’t believe it exists for so long an only heard about it here on lemmy 2 years ago.
However, YT-DLP has it own merit with youtube ! There are some great YouTuber’s out there doing some very good journalism, science and other stuff ! And archiving them with tubearchivist, tubesync or pinchflat is the best we can get anyway !
