This guide provides you with actionable information to get started downloading multiple videos with a single command. You may download videos using a list of video URLS, videos from a channel or videos from playlists using the method. Before you can start using youtube-dl, you need to download the tool to your device. Instructions in this guide focus on the Windows version, but youtube-dl is also available for other operating systems.
Open a command prompt window by selecting Start, typing cmd, and selecting Command Prompt. If you have saved the file to the Downloads directory, switch to it with the command cd Downloads provided that you are in your user folder. If you want to download multiple video files that are not related to each other, e.
Just create a new text file, name it downloads. The program downloads the best format that is available automatically, but you can customize that as well, especially if ffmpeg is available. The core commands are identical, but instead of using a text file containing a list of video URLs, you point the downloader to a playlist URL for the downloading.
The text file reference has been removed and replaced by the channel URL link. The program will download all videos from that particular channel; make sure you have enough free space no the device. Downloading videos from a playlist works similarly. Just replace the channel URL from the example above with a playlist URL, and youtube-dl will download all the linked videos from the specified playlist. You may check out the entire command reference on the project's GitHub project site.
Options include formatting the names of the downloaded video files, downloading thumbnails, encoding videos, downloading specific formats, and a lot more.

I also use mpv player and whenever I use the batch file updater in the programs folder, it gives me the option to install Youtube Downloader.

First I think you need to promote YT-DLP and not youtube-dl since it seems the project is just like not being maintained anymore like it used to.
But -F is for listing the and -f to specify which format people want. Were that so, everyone would be using it, or at least a majority. Yet it has to be plugged here, lame. Never heard of it before until now. The first it is only used as grabber. It is just perception, but FireDM download files with high efficiency. The copyright infringement. Learn more.
