a TorrentFreak article got me spooked so I fired up the ol’ yt-dlp. Got the entire channel, including comments, description metadata, and thumbnail images.
A significant number of videos were actually unavailable because of an odd YouTube bug where 15+ year old videos were listed as “currently being processed”. I may re-run this later (since I ran it in archive file mode) to get the missing videos, as it seems there may be about 300 out of 4911 videos missing.
Probably a silly question but where did you even find that?
Find what? The channel, or the tool?
Ah found in GitHub. For some reason I never put 2 and 2 together to automate YouTube video downloads. What a noob hah.
Yeah, the yt-dlp fork is still actively maintained and has very nice results, glad you found it.
Bit of both, the tool would be good to know mainly
