## youtube playlists
If your git-annex is also built with quvi support, you can also use
`git annex importfeed` on youtube playlists. It will automatically download
the videos linked to by the playlist.
You can also use `git annex importfeed` on youtube playlists.
It will use quvi to automatically download the videos linked to
by the playlist.
For this you need an rss file containing links to the videos.
For example, this url currently works:
<http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/PLz8ZG1e9MPlzefklz1Gv79icjywTXycR->
To download a youtube playlist, you need to find the feed associated with that
playlist, and pass it to `git annex importfeed`. There does not seem to be
an easy link anywhere to get the feed, but you can construct its url
manually. For a playlist like
"https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4F80C7D2DC8D9B6C", the
feed is "https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PL4F80C7D2DC8D9B6C"

@ -39,6 +39,10 @@ playlists. Best option seems to be `--playlist-items 0` which works for
non-playlists, and downloads only 1 item from playlists (hopefully a fairly
stable item, but who knows..).
(`git annex importfeed` handles youtube playlist downloads, but needs the
user to find the url to the rss feed for the playlist. Youtube still has
these, although it makes them hard to find.)
Another gotcha is that youtube-dl's -o option does not fully determine the
filename it downloads to. Sometims it will tack on an additional extension
(seen with youtube videos where it added a ".mkv").
