Playlist support is on the roadmap. I want to make sure existing functionality is solid first, and then i’d like to include this feature. There’s an issue in the tracker for it too.
Comment on I wrote a web front end for downloading Youtube videos, and i'd love some feedback

I’ll have to check this out. By any chance can you give it a Playlist and have it monitor it for changes and auto-download any new entries?

That’s a great idea. YouTube doesn’t have RSS feeds, does it?

Not outright displayed but you can find them in the source code.

yt-dlp supports downloading playlists. By using the --archive option it can save all downloaded video ID’s into a text file and will only download videos which are not in that file.
I wrote a docker container with a friend that uses that mechanism to auto download new videos every time it is triggered using cron. The configuration is a bit rough though and there is no gui so if this supports that part as well I might switch.

I have some batch jobs on my windows machine that do it, so I guess I could go to the trouble of building my own container to run them, was just looking for an easy way out ;)
