I am looking to download entire playlists and/or channels from YouTube. I know I can do this with yt-dlp, but for the content I’m attempting to download, it requires me to pass some cookie settings to yt-dlp, which I believe involves first signing into YouTube, which I don’t want to do.
My next thought was to see if I can accomplish the same task through Invidious. I can download individual videos through Invidious, but I don’t see a way to download an entire playlist.
Is there any way of downloading an entire playlist (or channel) without signing in, through Invidious or some other tool?
Or if I’m misunderstanding the mechanic of passing a cookie to yt-dlp (like if there’s a way of doing this without signing in), please let me know. Thank you!


Seal on FDroid has a download playlist option. It works on everything I’ve thrown at it
