To extract an entire playlist, fetch all available subtitles, and apply maximum LZMA2 compression:
One of the key functions inside this script is string GetVideoJson(string videoId, bool passAge) . This function is called to request and parse the "player response"—a large JSON data structure that YouTube sends to its own web player containing all the information about a video, including stream URLs and their various resolutions. The script acts as a "man-in-the-middle," impersonating a legitimate YouTube client to request this data, then extracting the parts that PotPlayer needs to begin playback.

If you work with digital archives, VOD (Video on Demand) preservation, or offline YouTube analytics, you’ve likely faced a common headache: you download a massive .7z archive of YouTube metadata, comments, or video streams, but parsing and playing the contents feels like cracking a safe.
The 7z suffix is key – the tool is optimized for 7-Zip archives, which offer better compression than ZIP for text-heavy YouTube metadata.
