You can extend this script with:

entries = info.get("entries") or [info] total_videos = sum(1 for e in entries if e) # some entries may be None if ignored print(f"Found total_videos videos in playlist. Starting downloads...")

Use your script to create offline archives of knowledge, to help students in areas with poor internet, or to preserve content that might be deleted. That is the ethical sweet spot.

If you’re a tinkerer or archivist, this script is a powerful tool. But if you just want a one-click solution for your personal playlist, stick with a GUI app. Python scripting is like owning a race car – thrilling when it works, frustrating when it’s in the shop.

The YouTube playlist downloader Python script is a valuable tool for anyone looking to download YouTube content for personal use. Its simplicity, customizability, and free open-source nature make it an attractive solution. While it may have some limitations, the script is well-maintained and can be easily modified to accommodate changing YouTube API requirements.

Hey everyone! I was tired of using online downloaders that are full of ads, so I wrote a quick Python tool to handle entire playlists.
