    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/dmn001/youtube_channel_archiver (A .conf file is very nice to use.)

    - https://github.com/dbeley/youtube-archiver (how to set up a systemd service)
