Does anybody know how to download an actual playlist from YouTube? Not the videos in the list, but the list itself. I just want a list of links in a text file. All the DDG time I've spent looking for this always points me to tools that will download the videos in the list, but I can't seem to figure out how to just get the stupid list. Am I missing something SUPER obvious?

@mike yt-dlp can do this : yt-dlp --flat-playlist --get-title <theplaylist>Will dump the video titles of the playlist. --get-url for the videos URLs.(yt-dlp is magic)

@mike Grab it via the rss feed youtube builds.ex:https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?playlist_id=PL9yxe103wKY8ap_Mzx76baaardg0-pSuDreplace the playlist_id with one you've created.

@joel For the record, this worked perfectly. Exactly what I wanted. I'm also interested in the solution @sultmhoor posted since it doesn't require an additional tool and I can probably parse out the RSS with just a bash wrapper. I'm keeping his warning about the random breaks in mind though when considering a solution.@Wivik

@mike I've been using them to convert channel subscriptions to my feed reader, and for what it's worth, they work pretty well. It seems like a few times a year (perhaps during an update of the site?) they'll suddenly become unavailable for a day or two, but inevitably come back.

@mike @joel @sultmhoor If RSS can answer the need, you can use an Invidious instance like I do with Nitter for Twitter. ex : https://invidious.fdn.fr/feed/playlist/PL7DA3D097D6FDBC02

@mike I wrote some OSS code which could access various properties of a playlist and its video content via the YouTube API. Any use to you?

@underlap Dunno. I'd need more specifics. I have my use case met with yt-dlp, but if there's a more graceful way to do it I'm open to suggestions.

@mike Probably too much work involved, but this could be a decent escape route if you get stuck: https://github.com/glyn/youtube-playlist-manager
