Why would you want that?
- goodplay 10y agoOne good reason for me personally is to insure future availability. As I type this, there are a couple of videos in my watch-later playlist that have been replaced with "video removed".
- muntoo 10y agoMy Watch Later is like 100 videos long. Ain't nobody got time for that.
- morganvachon 10y agoYou're posting on HN, I would think you would find a way to automate it. ;-)
- goodplay 10y agoI believe youtube-dl is capable of downloading entire lists, but I don't know if the watch-later list behaves as a normal list. One way to find out.
- jerf 10y agoyoutube-dl can download lists of videos. It also automatically doesn't download things you already have, so it can be used periodically to sync the list if you want. It only really matters if you expect videos to go down, but I also have my small collection of "videos that were obviously going to be taken down".
- dawnerd 10y agoThis is one of the best features (apart from channel backups). I think because of its name people also don't realize that youtube-dl works for LOTS of other sites and it's relatively easy to add new sites in as well.
