I set up a server specifically for downloading Youtube videos from all my playlists on a daily basis just for this reason. At some point I got fed up at seeing all the missing videos on my playlists (and not even knowing what was removed)
- floren 5y agoWhat do you use for automation? My first instinct is cron jobs running youtube-dl scripts against a set of playlist URLs, but I'd be interested to hear more.
- robotnikman 5y agoYep, you basically just described the setup, nothing super fancy :) Cron job which runs a batch script at midnight which feeds youtube-dl some playlists URLS's which it downloads to a HDD. I also have nextcloud running which has access to the directory the videos are saved to, so I can easily share them if I want to.
