What I really wanted to get from the playlist are the the video-names, so that I could pick out only those I want to download, which I get with : $ youtube-dl -i -get-filename -skip-download playlist Full Length Arthouse Movies: Downloading 636 videos PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #6 PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #5 PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #4 PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #3 PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #2 PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading page #1 Downloading playlist: Full Length Arthouse Movies PLm9l7EEbJuhyDYNuItj3sG8h3xAZbjIxr: Downloading webpage Note 2:This approach works for Youtube method does produce output on linux, but not what I sought, thus : $ youtube-dl -flat-playlist -skip-download Note 1:To install JQ you can simply use: sudo apt-get install jq We then pass those "id"s to sed which will prefix each of them with giving the result I shown before.

This will produce an output similar to this in result.log: Try using this command: youtube-dl -j -flat-playlist " | jq -r '.id' | sed 's_^_' > result.log
