[FR] Download series images for playlist-based sources

[andzno1]

It would be great to implement series image downloads (poster and banner) for playlist-based sources as well. Is there a limitation preventing this from happening?

Hey there! Thanks for the suggestion (:

Unfortunately, there is since playlists on YouTube don't have any of these secondary images to pull from. It'll pull a poster if it can, but there is no fanart or banner for it to pull

Oh, I understand that. Sorry, I should clarify my use case. I have a playlist source with the following output path template:

/{{ channel }}/{{ season_by_year__episode_by_date_and_index }} - {{ title }}.{{ ext }}

For that specific case it would be really nice to have posters and banners for the channels.

I have been thinking about this and maybe it would be possible to implement optional path templates for images like so:

Location for video's channel banner:
/{{ channel }}/banner.{{ ext }}

Location for video's channel profile picture:
/{{ channel }}/folder.{{ ext }}
