  • I was going to suggest yt-dlp, but this seems to be for android… right? In that case, I don’t know if yt-dlp works there.

    Anyway, for those on PCs, you can use yt-dlp "PLAYLIST_URL".

    Some useful options:

    • --download-archive videos.txt: this will keep track of downloaded files in case you want to interrupt an continue later. You can change the filename videos.txt to whatever you want.
    • -R infinite --file-access-retries infinite --fragment-retries infinite --retry-sleep http:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep fragment:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep file_access:exp=1:20 --retry-sleep extractor:exp=1:20: infinite retries for different error types, for those with unreliable connections.
    • -o "%%(playlist_index)s - %%(title)s.%%(id)s.%%(ext)s": output file format
    • --cookies cookies.txt: if it’s a private list, you will need to provide your (yt-logged-in-)browser cookies. See cookies.txt add-on.
