DCUK6 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Trying to get the actual playlist url on youtube but can't find it. This is the first video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK5YGWS5H84&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84&index=1 Tried http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 but get an error page. I just want to hyperlink the playlist rather than the video incase the list changes. Cheers,

It seems you can't like directly to them without specifying a video. I think they're intended to be like a 'radio' button. You start with a song, and it generates a list of stuff you might like. The link you've already got is as close as you're going to get to a static link.
6Foot2 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I have found this: YouTube List Grabber: Link: Youtube List Grabber | SourceForge.net This does get the list of URLs in the playlist but I cant' seem to get them out again: http://i.snag.gy/daDb9.jpg
bald_pig Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Looks like that is the playlist URL, it's what it gives once saved as a playlist in my youtube account.
6Foot2 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 I have just tried this again at home and found that the app created a text file with the following content: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK5YGWS5H84 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO9Qa7MpAvw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRtvqT_wMeY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt2mbGP6vFI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdYWuo9OFAw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwtdhWltSIg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1XWJN3nJo http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAP9AF6DCu4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loWXMtjUZWM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QD5n98R_nk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrIiLvg58SY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo So it has only captured 26 of the URLs. I found the text file on my laptop at home while looking for another download. It was dropped in the following location: C:\Users\Dave\Downloads HTH.
Arthur Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 (edited) This does get the list of URLs in the playlist but I can't' seem to get them out again You might find this PowerShell script useful... $Playlist = ((Invoke-WebRequest "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK5YGWS5H84&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84&index=1").Links | Where {$_.class -match "playlist-video"}).href ForEach ($Video in $Playlist) { Write-Output ("https://www.youtube.com" + $Video) } http://a.pomf.se/ehwfsn.png https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KK5YGWS5H84&index=1&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBumgq5yVrA&index=2&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGDA0Hecw1k&index=3&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO9Qa7MpAvw&index=4&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cOeKidp-iWo&index=5&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Xf-Lesrkuc&index=6&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lyu1KKwC74&index=7&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMOGaugKpzs&index=8&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UVNT4wvIGY&index=9&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=djV11Xbc914&index=10&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQY7BusJNU&index=11&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cwkej79U3ek&index=12&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NRtvqT_wMeY&index=13&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt2mbGP6vFI&index=14&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkADj0TPrJA&index=15&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4z2DtNW79sQ&index=16&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdYWuo9OFAw&index=17&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwtdhWltSIg&index=18&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTQbiNvZqaY&index=19&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VV1XWJN3nJo&index=20&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eFTLKWw542g&index=21&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAP9AF6DCu4&index=22&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loWXMtjUZWM&index=23&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5QD5n98R_nk&index=24&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrIiLvg58SY&index=25&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tIdIqbv7SPo&index=26&list=RDKK5YGWS5H84 Edited March 10, 2015 by Arthur 1
6Foot2 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Looks like that might do the job. Perhaps this is the route to take.
BlueDargon Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 I know this is very outdated but the above Powershell code has been working perfectly for me for a very long time but I run into more and more playlists that dont wan to load Example Any Ideas on how to get the individual Videos URL's here Thanks
CSmith Posted December 18, 2020 Posted December 18, 2020 Hey @BlueDargon, You can give this a go, it searches through the content of the page for a pattern that includes both a video ID and a playlist ID; $url = "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSUFzC6_fp8&list=RDQMOI78oB-40zU&start_radio=1" $playlist = (Invoke-WebRequest "$url") $matches = ($playlist.Content | Select-String -Pattern '"videoId":"([^"]+)","playlistId"' -AllMatches).Matches ForEach ($match in $matches | Sort-Object | Get-Unique) { Write-Output ("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + $match.groups[1].value) } PS C:\Users\Chris\Desktop> C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\youtube.ps1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30TkClWvT5k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MKP3SkzkIA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZT9_H4-hbM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KiFSKLTj0U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Vwu-t7QRaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAkMkVFwAoo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjQzJAKxTrE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dkq3LD-4pmM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8gmARGvPlI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGOz9f78IjI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emXbfEzXn6A https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjtYtBGrP6Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJPc7esgvsA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku7ohU1IGls https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYiUSalSjS0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1nQpoAvTSg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LRP8d7hhpoQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUjn3RpkcKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mj7Pr42rliI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mk_GmhD053E https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mN7LW0Y00kE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlR0MkrRklg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx-DvH41Tjo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFjdfjrtf1Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8ugJnIG_Lk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJ_MGWio-vc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJ5DOWPGxwg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqItlHUSN-4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAMzAIH12yc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WSUFzC6_fp8
