Advanced and easy YouTube archiver now stable
I also archive many playlists with some code I wrote but I don't use a GUI.
https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/library/blob/f778e22bf80c58...
My focus is on error handling and trying to differentiate between unrecoverable errors and recoverable ones (try different proxy) but there's still a lot of work to be done.
Also look into https://github.com/swolegoal/squid-dl

Is it possible to download multiple videos at the same time in one instance?
It's not possible with single instance. GUIs and other wrappers like squid-dl achieve this by running multiple yt-dlp instances in the background

YT-DLP | Download multiple videos at the same time
nope. You'll need to run multiple instances. You can find third party scripts designed for just that. Here's one for example: https://github.com/tuxlovesyou/squid-dl

```
Hopefully that saves someone some extra googling.
For more hardcore automated archival, I do this on linux (which doesn't have the character length issues) and I'd recommend looking at the following for inspiration
- https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate... (Supports sponsorblock, and it turns out truly finding the best quality is pretty complex)
- https://github.com/dmn001/youtube_channel_archiver (A .conf file is very nice to use.)

Format code for browser playback compatibility
I am trying to play some videos downloaded with yt-dlp on my local web server. However, because of the codecs my current format code chooses when downloading I have noticed a number of videos will not play within in a web browser. My current format code is based on TheFrenchGhosty's youtube-dl script collection which chooses codecs for quality at the cost of compatibility.

Noobie needs help making a config file for yt-dlp
Note that this option is somewhat broken. At least it was for years. For this reason, there are extra scripts that try to grab the actual best video + audio like https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate-YouTube-DL-Scripts-Collection

Youtube-dl Hosting Ban Paves the Way to Privatized Censorship
If you want to do complicated bullshit, like setting up automated downloading of channels for archiving, then I recommend this: https://github.com/TheFrenchGhosty/TheFrenchGhostys-Ultimate-YouTube-DL-Scripts-Collection : Initially might seem confusing, this is a good set of scripts for looking at how yt-dlp is "supposed" to be set up script-wise. Good for manually messing with things and setting up a cron job to run. These scripts will assist in downloading more than just the video, like thumbnails and metadata, and comments.
- I am genuinely terrified of the Internet Archive closing down.

Stop using youtube-dl and use yt-dlp instead.
yt-dlp also scripts SO nicely. Take a look at this.
