As the title states, I am currently screwed.

I was downloading 30 songs as I do each week and then I continued playing limbus company as I was doing. When I tabbed back I noticed yt-dlp-gui was closed and assumed I accidentally closed it, likely by pressing alt+f4 because I tend to have two games open at once and when I’m done with one, that’s what I’ll do to get back to the other game.

But then I decided to try downloading all 30 at once by putting the playlist’s link into the bar asking for the url and I forget exactly how it looked, but essentially it just didn’t work. So I tried to download the first song on the playlist and for some reason it started to show off all the songs in the list but when it got to the end it just said “ERROR” in the status, size, and speed slots.

I tried to use regular yt-dlp since I had a friend who is more familiar with coding in a call with me watching my screen, but when it said I needed ffmpeg to do what I needed, I went to the ffmpeg page and neither of us could tell what we were looking at nor which thing I should download and how to handle it.

So I would really like to fix yt-dlp-gui so I don’t have to look at ffmpeg again, no offense, and also I hope I can download the whole playlist at once, but also if I do that and enter a custom name in the name slot, is it going to name all songs the same name?
