Downloading Youtube videos in a text file…?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
If you are familiar to Linux, see the following script...
I have a text file with a (list.txt) of Youtube URLs separated by new line... and I use
cat list.txt | youtube-dl -f best
to download all in the list
This works fine but I want to emulate it on a Windows Batch file..
set /p data=<list.txt
youtube-dl -f best %data%
This works too.. BUT it downloads only the first video on the list.
A Simple solution w.r.t coding would be preferred.
PS:Also it is certain that I'm not looking for solutions using youtube-dl commands
batch shell-script youtube pipe

Rather than piping it in, you could use functionality provided by youtube-dl - it has a parameter that allows you to point at a text file containing a list of URLs - one per line.
-a,--batch-file FILE
File containing URLs to download ('-' for stdin), one URL per line. Lines starting with '#', ';' or ']' are considered as comments and ignored.
In your situation you'd use:
youtube-dl -f best -a list.txt

This seems to me as being the best answer for it uses the original tool to do the same and there is a Windows version too. So basically all you need to do is reformat your command according to the answer provided by Attie and just put it in a folder with a batch script and relevant list file. Then all you'll have to do is edit your list file and run your script. Otherwise, though I don't know it properly, I'd suggest looking on PowerShell side. From what I saw it seems they at last included a lot of nice features and commands.
