Wow this is so helpful! I was trying to find a video where this guy talked about something specific, but I couldn't find it as they have hundreds of videos and post everyday, sometimes multiple times a day, so it would have been hours of research. NOT ANYMORE! Thank you so much I was able to pin point the exact video and time stamp too!
It only downloads the first 30 or so videos. You can't change the settings otherwise and the date function doesn't work. HOWEVER, you can import a list of videos and it will download them and then a quick script can convert them into readable formats. I'll send him a tip. Thanks
