I’ve been using Stacher for a while to backup entire Youtube channels I semi regularly go back to watch their older stuff.

Problem is it’s missing a few feature that would make my life a lot easier, Being able to filter videos from a playlist by upload date or length of video are the big ones.

A lot of channels still upload but their content really went downhill after a certain point, and some have long podcasts or livestreams on their main channel I don’t care to watch or save. Right now I’m having to manually filter through playlists of sometimes 100s of videos. Anyone know an easier way?

      yt dlp can do a lot, combined with a bash script it can do almost anything. I recently made myself a script that downloads every channel in a playlist if anyone needs that actually

      Snacher is just a GUI for yt-dlp.

      But i would guess you can do alot more with yt-dlp directly just might be a bit of a learning curve.

        I can’t look it up right now but there’s a “yt archivist” type implementation using yt-dlp in very specific ways to archive entire YT channels with lots of metadata
