Needs youtube-dl (ArchLinux package) inside PATH and is tested with Python 3 on Arch Linux.

Youtube API key: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/

Super Arbeit danke! Ist deine Version denn "zuverlässig" ? Youtube-dl kann ja glaube ich auch playlisten runterladen bzw gab es dazu ein extra paket im AUR. Allerdings lädt das script einige videos nicht. Ich hoffe deins ist zuverlässiger mal ausprobieren :)

@shibumi: Hab gerade nochmal ausgebessert, da es bei fehlendem Video abbricht. Nun lädt es aber alle vorhanden Videos runter und schreibt alle nicht vorhanden (mit ID, Titel und Beschreibung) in failed-videos.json. Dann kann man sich eventuell nochmal auf die Suche nach solch einem Video machen.

Nette Sache mal überlegt dazu ne PKGBUILD zu bauen und ins AUR hochzuladen? weil wie gesagt die "playlist-downloader" die ich kenne laden nie die komplette liste beim ersten versuch. Da muss man dann 2-3 mal neu anfangen eh man alle videos hat

Gerade nochmal geupdated. Nun überspringt es bereits vorhandene Dateien.
