How to automatically create a directory

[PDSCi996]

I changed the 21st line of the "youtube-dl-server.py" configuration file to "'YDL_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE':'/youtube-dl/%%(uploader)s/(title)s.%(ext)s', ", so that the video file will automatically create a directory named after the channel name after downloading, and copy this file into it, but if you download a playlist composed of different channels, multiple directories will be created. In youtube-dl-server.py, set parameters like "'YDL_OUTPUT_TEMPLATE_PLAYLIST':'/youtube-dl/%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s', When downloading a playlist, only one directory will be created with the name of the playlist.
Thanks a lot.

Thank you very much for your reply, but is the part in bold you rewritten? Also, have you tested it?

[ladudu]

Yes, I did simple test.

Would this be saved as config.yml somewhere?
