Even I downloaded some videos by putting the video links to a text file and calling the script with ‘F’ switch. But I’m a lazy guy to prepare the text file with URLs now. I thought I’ll leave this task to the script itself. I added some code to make the script bit more intelligent. It takes the keywords from you, searches the YouTube for the related videos and downloads them. Sounds cool… J

I added one more switch to my script ‘S’. It accepts the keywords and searches the YouTube for related videos. Now my scripts usage is like

This helps a lot for me now. Just I trigger something like

C:\Videos> Cscript yt_dl.vbs S 10 Sachin Warne

It downloads 10 videos related to Sachin & Warne from the YouTube.

Hope this improvement helps. The only limitation (atleast that I’ve noticed) is it can download the maximum number of 20 related videos. Please do share your comments.

The modified version can be downloaded here.
