Changing name of the video while downloading via youtube-dl
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
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.

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
