[REQUEST] Option to add video's date to file name

[shaked6540]

I will try to find some time to add this option this weekend.
Could you elabotrate on how do you expect it to see? e.g. "Video title - [date]" or "[date] - Video title" or some other format?

Thank You!

First date field is better. Can I ask for a YYYY-MM-DD format?

Sorry it can't be done, I started working on it and it turns out the library im using does not expose the upload date of the video. If I recall correctly, they had to drop support for it due to some changes in youtube and that is also the reason why the subscriptions tab doesnt work anymore.

Youtube used to give us the full date and time the videos were uploaded at, but about a couple of months ago they changed the dates to "3 days ago" or "1 year ago", no dates. Just to clarify, this isn't the video's upload date but a "friendly" string they display to viewers, 1 year ago could mean anything from 1 year to 2 years ago since it only updates in 1 year intervals, same for months/weeks/days

Sorry again, but I can't support that feature at the time, until youtube reverts that change (if ever).

Hi, thanks! I found a console utility yt-dlp that fully meets my requirements.

Happy product development!
