Can I download every item in a public playlist?

No. Confirm ownership, permission, public-domain status or another lawful basis for each individual item.

Why process the links one at a time?

Sequential work makes link, rights, format and file verification visible and prevents a failed item from creating a batch of duplicates.

How should I order the files?

Use fixed-width numbers, a concise title, language or format, and a version date that matches the manifest.

What if new videos are added later?

Treat each new entry as a new rights check; membership in the original playlist is not automatic permission.

Turn the playlist into item-level decisions

A public playlist does not mean every video is cleared for copying. Make a manifest with the title, link, creator, duration, permitted use and attribution for every item; leave entries without a lawful basis unprocessed.

Plan formats, storage and order first

Choose video, audio or caption output according to the final use and estimate total duration and storage. Number folders and use consistent names so similar files do not disappear into the browser download directory.

Analyse one authorised link at a time

Open each public video, confirm its version, then analyse the complete URL in HSK Download. Process and verify one item, update the manifest, and only then continue; this makes a failed entry easy to identify.

Verify every completed file

Check the beginning, middle and end for picture, sound, duration, caption language and a plausible file size. If playback is incompatible, try a suitable player or a compatible format supplied by the source rather than renaming the extension.

Separate sources, edits and delivery

Keep permission records, untouched source files, working copies and approved delivery in distinct folders. For team access, restrict sharing and keep the manifest’s file name, version and location aligned with the real asset.

Handle list changes and interrupted tasks

Do not automatically extend permission when a playlist gains new videos. Record deleted, unavailable or restricted items and ask the rights holder for an authorised source; never bypass account, region, payment or privacy controls.

Match the search intent

Responsible use

Process only public media you own, are authorised to use, that is in the public domain, or that you may otherwise use lawfully. Public visibility alone does not grant copying or republication rights.

Next step

Open HSK Download with a complete public link you are authorised to process.
