I saw this thread regarding downloading a youtube playlist via youtube-dl, but I was wondering if there was any help available on how to actually do so.
Any help would be appreciated.

A first preview of the unlimited version of SinusBot can be found in the Upcoming Changes thread. A version for Windows will follow, but we don't have a release date, yet.

Code:
sudo wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2015.10.24/youtube-dl -O /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
sudo chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
In your config.ini add / edit after this reboot the bot:
Code:
YoutubeDLPath = "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl"
So how would you actually get the playlist to play? After doing !yt, it just plays that one song and not the rest. Am I missing something here or is this just not supported?

Err. So downloading and streaming a playlist is not possible at this time, guess I'll have to wait.

Sorry but I'm completely lost right now, help on the web interface doesnt give anything, executing on ts doesn't give anything just redirects to the main site, and i can't issue a command using the bot window.. :s what exactly are you talking about?

with last version (beta) i have a similar problem but it is related with youtube contry blacklist of the video and if the bot try to play one of blocked song it get blocked untill you manually select the next music!
About playlist download it work too with !yt? did you try the normal way with "add new playlist > show more options" ? i just downloaded a playlist with 230 files and it worked but i had to remove blocked songs
Also you are on WINDOWS or LINUX?

@Shawnilizer Currently the playlist feature just exists for the LINUX version!!

Just wondering, is that feature for hosted bots only or can everyone use it?
I don't see that more options button and am on the latest beta version, latest youtube-dl and Debian.
Edit:
My bad. Forgot to change tsbot to sinusbot in my starting script. Works fine

Figured it out. See my edit
But just ran into another issue. It only shows the video IDs instead of track titles.
Using the latest youtube-dl
Code:
youtube-dl --version
