youtube-dl can't pull channel
by nooobeee from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5A77P)
I am looking to pull an entire youtube channel for archival purposes. I have setup and executed several single video tests using youtube-dl. The command I am starting with is as follows:
Code:youtube-dl -i -f best --dateafter 20201101 https://www.youtube.com/c/AominOrg/ --embed-subs --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata --download-archive downloaded.txtI've also tried:
Code:youtube-dl -i -f best --dateafter 20201101 https://www.youtube.com/c/AominOrg/videos --embed-subs --embed-thumbnail --add-metadata --download-archive downloaded.txtAs well as a more simplified:
Code:youtube-dl -f best -v https://www.youtube.com/c/AominOrg/Each time the result is the same indicating that it is Downloading 0 videos. It would seem as though this channel's "all videos" playlist has no videos in it. Has anyone seen this? Any thoughts on a way around it?
