Bulk Youtube Downloader

How to download all videos from a channel ?

0. Extract the ffmpeg.7z archive (use any good program like PeaZip, 7Zip or WinRar for this)
   THE FILES MUST BE IN THE SAME FOLDER AS THE OTHERS, NOT IN A SUBFOLDER !
1. Go on the Youtube channel, go on the Videos tab, and scroll down until no new video pops out (yes it takes time)
2. Open the console (F12 -> Console) and paste the following line :

copy(Array.from(new Set(Array.from(document.links).filter((l) => l.href?.includes('watch?v=')).map(x => x.href.split('&')[0]))))

Then hit enter
3. Open the yt.txt file, delete everything and paste (Ctrl + V) if you see no link, run the following command instead :

copy(Array.from(new Set(Array.from(document.links).filter((l) => l.href?.includes('.be/')).map(x => x.href.split('&')[0]))))

4. Run the dl.bat file

Error ?

• The yt.txt should look like this :

[
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYVoZJXuhxk",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TwBc7B46X0",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h2csePLbahQ",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-m1EzV-i3WI",
    "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-JdZsKzYWhI"
]

• The video may be geo-restricted

Scalability :

• Just open the dl.bat and edit the line 69
• All yt-dlp options can be found on their README (check the very next link)
