Problems and Limitations of Traditional Methods *Problems and Limitations of Traditional Methods* Using a browser to track a YouTube playlist is bad practice because the browser can automatically close due to a crash, potentially resulting in the loss of playlist progress. nimtools can make this easier by allowing you to track YouTube URLs at any time, but this method has a limitation: YouTube playlists from video 51 onward are not extracted. Additionally, ptube is a library for extracting videos in bulk, but ptube and ptube fix are deprecated and do not allow you to extract playlist information for future documentation. *Solution with yt_dlp and Data Management* Using the yt_dlp library can solve the problem of extracting YouTube links. You must include a regex to extract the playlist from a YouTube video, as you can often encounter a video in the middle of the playlist or even at the end. With yt_dlp, you save time because private videos or videos with exclusive access to channel members are not displayed in the CSV file. This allows you to track your progress by saving the CSV file as XLSX and marking your progress in red. You can make a copy of the XLSX file in case of a typo to restore the original. *File Management and Content Download* Google Drive doesn't allow Excel to save directly or view with Adobe Reader or WPS Editor, so you save to the desktop and transfer it later to the original folder. Downloading the video and its subtitles and playing them on your PC uses less internet because you avoid YouTube ads, which are a bad experience by copying the video ID from yt5s.biz and downloadyoutubesubtitles and prefixing with youtube.com/?v=.
