[Feature Request] Queue links

[PiotrBarcz]

I really have no right to complain since this is far and away the best youtube downloader and beats JDownloader by like a mile and three quarters to the power of 34 but it would be VERY convenient if the following could be added as features:

1. It would be neat to have a system like with the main single video downloading page that playlists download like a video but instead of a single file download progress it just shows how many videos from the playlist have been downloaded
2. With that in mind making it possible to add playlists into the list, once the first one is done, the next starts and so on

This would be incredibly helpful for people like myself who download series of albums from YouTube and when there's a thousand of them waiting for each one to download before pasting the next link makes things extremely slow.
However given the reliability I still won't allow myself to complain too much, this is more of a streamlining request, it's not really that necessary if you're not downloading 1000 jazz albums xD

Thanks Andrew for your work! There are no words to describe my gratitude for your creation of this program!

Hey! I really appreciate the kind words!
From what I understood, what you want is batch downloads. This certainly would be a useful addition. Infact it's already in the TODO list. I would implement it once I get the time.
Until then, I think you should try yt-dlp. It's a command-line tool.
You can for example, paste all your links in a file and then just do yt-dlp list.txt. And it will download everything. You can do a lot more with it. yt-dlp is what YTDownloader uses behind the scenes.
And you can get your desired commands with AI pretty easily.

Yeah the main reason I used YTDownloader and previously J Downloader is because the command line hates me :P So many useful tools I could use if it wasn't for my complete lack of ability to use it but such is life xD

Batch downloads I suppose would be another way to put it though the way I understand that when I hear it is the program downloading a whole batch all at once instead of lining each download up and taking on one at a time.
Glad to hear it's on the to do list though! That's awesome :D

Being able to open multiple instances of the program would also be a work around that would work really well however I assume that because of stuff under the hood it's not possible to do so without breaking everything.
