how do I mass download my entire watch later list on youtube at the highest quality available for each video automatically?
>>1501575Good idea honestly, looked back at my old watch list and 80% has been nuked from the internet.
>>1501575First, you have to make your watch later list either unlisted or public.Then you can download it with youtube-dl
>>1501591how do I use youtube-dl to do that?
>>1501591>>1501600no, you use yt-dlp, youtube-dl has been deprecated for a long time>>1501600you doyt-dlp [PlaylistLink]it should do bestvideo+bestaudio by default
>>1501614>>1501591seems like "watch later" lists can't be edited at all to make it unlisted or public for some reason. Is there a way to move all videos in the watch later list to another playlist?How do I go about doing this?
>>1501620bump
>>1501620I'm not an expert, but have you tried creating another playlist with videos from your watch later list and using the technique on that?
>>1502033Is there a fast way to do that? My watch later list has 1000+ vids on it. I can't seem to find any 3 dots or options menu to clone the watch later list unfortunately.
>>1502035save them to your favorites or bookmarks on your browser
