Youtube-dl downloads entire channel instead of just videos
I'm not sure if this is the right place or not and the ytdl website really has no contact info. I need to let someone know because this is a big issue for me.
The ytdl package is downloading playlists, homepages and sometimes even recommended channels when I download certain channels. ytuser:JonnyAtma
is a good example. I am getting videos from Tee Lopes and playlists and all sorts of other stuff I don't want. A sample of the log. Right now I am using --no-playlist
as a workaround however not only does this not completely solve the issue but it will block playlist elements from the videos on the channel which sometimes I want depending on the content.
This only became an issue since the last update and I looked over the changelog where I could find a copy and it said they reworked the downloading module. So I think the problem is in there somewhere.
If this is a feature instead of a bug (and I could see why) a switch really needs to be included to only download the channel videos instead of the entire channel.
