scdl -l <link> -t doesn't create subfolders for playlists

Open BenjaminShanklin opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

When I use the command "scdl -l >link< -t -c " it doesn't create subfolders for playlists, I'm not sure if it is supposed to do it but when I use "-a" it does create the subfolders for the playlists. The issue is I don't want to download all the reposts but I want all the playlist tracks to be in their respective subfolders while having all the loose tracks in the main directory. I've got around this but downloading each playlist separately but when I try to finish downloading all the loose files by using "-t -c" it grabs all the playlist files again but since they are currently in the subfolders it doesn't think I have them downloaded and then redownloads them all as loose files and places them in my main directory. Is there an easy fix for this or am I just using the wrong commands for what I want to do as it seems to be applying the " --no-playlist-folder " command when I want the reverse of that.

If this is a stupid question I'm sorry, I'm not very well versed in all this stuff yet.

From what I can tell the -t option isn't supposed to make any playlist folders. A workaround to get your playlist folders and not re-download the songs already in the folders would be using "--download-archive /some/location/.txt". If you use the download archive flag when you download playlists and when you use "-t -c" it'll skip songs already downloaded regardless of where they are.

There's a -p switch that downloads all the user's playlists, -t only downloads tracks without reposts as far as I know
