What operating system do you use ?

Windows 10

List of actions to perform to reproduce the problem:

1. ..Paste a youtube channel link.
2. ..Press "Add"
3. ..Press "Start"

What is the expected behaviour ?

1. YT-DLG should display all of the listed clips of a channel (if the user paste the URL of a channel) with a check box of each item.
2. User can download the selected items to download
3. The channel could be update on daily basis to see if any newer video available.
4. Allow users to download newer video clips if possible. Allow an option for the program to update the channel new items (alike RSS news reader or podcast).

What happens instead ?

YT-DLG display only a link, the progress was only known as a tip when user hovers the mouse on the link. What item is being downloaded only known when user navigates to download folder. There is no progress or selectable things revealed.
