@ -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").
