Youtube Playlist Video link download seperation selecting sorting or filter

[jehmin]

If someone wanted to archive a video and the only link available was associated to a playlist.
If one puts that link into OVD it will download everything in that playlist when we really just wanted the 1 ( or selected) videos or audios.

It would be helpful if we can choose to either only download that 1 file instead of the entire playlist
Or to be able to select which files in that playlist to download.

In the meantime. One must grab the entire playlist just to delete most of it later.
Takes more time and effort.

Thank you

Currently playlists will flatten into single videos by default. But I hear this is not the behavior you would like, because it might mean waiting for 50 videos to load, downloading 1 and removing 49 from the list.

I considered something in between, that playlists show their videos as an expandable list within them and you can just “pop out” one of the those videos. Would that work for you or do you have other ideas how to do this properly?

As a suggestion: add check marks to each video in that expandable list, that way we can just uncheck videos we don't want to download.
