How to download entire seasons off Tubi using yt-dlp

Pretty sure I just put in the show main page url and it goes and grabs each episode for each season. For instance for Black Scorpion I think I got all episodes with this url https://tubitv.com/series/3859/black-scorpion

Of course, it does them one at a time but it does it automatically. You can specify the name of the show as a prefix too. I think syntax might be:

yt-dlp -o "Black-Scorpion%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s" https://tubitv.com/series/3859/black-scorpion

For searches or larger categories containing multiple shows, for instance the "Leaving Soon" category, I scroll to the very bottom of the list and use Link Klipper to get all results, rename this to a txt file and do it as a batch download. Syntax is:

yt-dlp --all-subs --batch-file tubi20230829_leaving_soon.txt

It will grab entire seasons of shows, but a downside is they all get named something like "s01-e01-armed-and-dangerous [473975].mp4" so all seasons and episodes of all TV shows in the results will be intermixed, meaning I will someday have to track down what show is 473975, separate them out, and rename them.

Unlikely since the playlist file will differ for every episode. You could go to each episode’s page and get the playlist url and put them all in a text file and input that to yt-dlp so it grabs them all at once

any shows i want says drm

The tubi extractor doesn't have playlist capabilities, so your next-best option is to build an URL list and use the '--batch-file' option.

There are browser extensions that can help you grab multiple URL links from a webpage that you can use to build a list quickly. I typically use 'Link Klipper'

Following because when I tried this recently I had to click through to grab the URL and paste each into a txt file which I then used - - batch-file with. So tedious, there has got to be a better way.
