I am trying to download a complete playlist in youtube, while downloading i want to enter serial number while downloading in front of the title of the video,



For example if a playlist has a videos: 



A.mp4

E.mp4

K.mp4

C.mp4

B.mp4


I want it to be



1. A.mp4

2. E.mp4

3. K.mp4

4. C.mp4

5. B.mp4.


I tried commands like: 



i=0;youtube-dl -cti https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list={(Any Playlist)} -o "{{$i++}%(title)s.%(ext)s}"


but its giving me this error:




youtube-dl: error: using output template conflicts with using title, video ID or auto number




Also, Downloading the whole playlist and then renaming one by one is also not i am searching.



Is there any command which downloads the playlist and renames each video side by side according to my wish?

          Sometimes I had headache to rename and sort the files based on the order.



          So to add auto-numbering, use -A like,



          youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOU2XLYxmsILe6_eGvDN3GyiodoV3qNSC -A


          Or to keep playlist index,



          youtube-dl -o '%(playlist_index)s. %(title)s.%(ext)s' https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOU2XLYxmsILe6_eGvDN3GyiodoV3qNSC


          This will add nice numbering to the downloaded files.



          And if you are downloading files which is not in playlist, you can add numbers manually to the file,



          youtube-dl -o "1-%(uploader)s%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://youtu.be/862r3XS2YB0


          Here I have manually added 1- to the filename while downloading.

          • What if you already downloaded a terabyte long playlist and now what to rename the file accordingly? ;) youtube-dl can download playlist metadata, but how to get this metadata in a form that can be used from a script to match already downloaded files and rename them?

          The best solution I found is:




          youtube-dl -o "%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" <playlist_link>



          For example:



          youtube-dl -o "%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf8i4fc0zJBzLhOe6FwHpGhBDgqwInJWZ

              you have to put the youtube link in the quotes ""



              example



              youtube-dl -o "%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNObiptSMSI&list=PL08903FB7ACA1C2FB"

                The best solution I found is:




                youtube-dl -o "%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" <playlist_link>



                For example:



                youtube-dl -o "%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLf8i4fc0zJBzLhOe6FwHpGhBDgqwInJWZ
