TroubleshootingHow do I download an entire YouTube playlist instead of only the first video?
Upgrade to the version that includes YouTube playlist support. The fix removes --no-playlist from the yt-dlp info/download commands and adds a POST /api/playlist endpoint that expands a playlist URL into individual video URLs using yt-dlp --flat-playlist. After updating, paste the full YouTube playlist URL and the app will process all videos in the playlist. If running yt-dlp manually, avoid passing --no-playlist and use yt-dlp --flat-playlist "<playlist_url>" to list the playlist entries.
