what do you mean by in conjuction with selenium ? how exactly should you use selenium to solve the infinite scroll problem ?
im working on a playlist with more than 100 and i need to solve this so that i can order the downloaded videos according to the playlist by adding numbers
Made a quick fork https://gist.github.com/Axeltherabbit/5b147d508faf1b5cd735a52bd916b1e4 (No, doesn't solve the 100 video problem)

It can't scrape more than 100 links at a time because of Youtube's infinite scroll. Notice if you go to the playlist link and scroll down, it stops and load the next page. You'll have to use BeautifulSoup in conjunction with Selenium to get more than 100 links.
