Usage

plz "PL1O4GjhJgk40spOiTqpdh5rmp8z6lbpHQ" "PLlwKCy51_4YjSUB4gshARQIdFKOQ7wIqR"

Where positional arguments are playlist IDs retrieved from youtube. These are “list” GET parameters, visible in URL when you browse to any playlist page on youtube.

You can also specify regular expressions to be used to pick out episode numbers, directly via command line options. Useful for cases where default regex fail to get the correct episode number, or if you want to filter some videos out. All regular expressions have to contain one capturing group in them (specified by “([0-9]{1,2})” usually) – capturing the episode number.

plz --third-regex="Mathas ([0-9]{1,2})" \
    "PL1bauNEiHIgyqZ2B_x9kJWVX_dlDKv1cF" \
    "PLrIoJm0QOWUp-KwSJHNGGODWZCpVnu6km" \
    "PLH-huzMEgGWD5f_ItXeqF-qBoxkhNUNex"

Regular expression options can be specified several times, it will try them until it gets a match, in order, starting with the first one.

plz --third-regex="#([0-9]{1,2})" \
    --third-regex="Mathas ([0-9]{1,2})" \
    "PL1bauNEiHIgyqZ2B_x9kJWVX_dlDKv1cF" \
    "PLrIoJm0QOWUp-KwSJHNGGODWZCpVnu6km" \
    "PLH-huzMEgGWD5f_ItXeqF-qBoxkhNUNex"
