laptop# youtube-dl -g -f 43 "youtube playlist url" | tee urls.txt
phone# v=0; for x in $(cat urls.txt); do curl -k "$x" > $v.webm; v=$((v+1)); done
urls.txt has an expiry of 2 days or so. plenty of time to move the file and then get the videos when downloads are fast.
all that I installed on the phone was a terminal emulator -- the basic one that everyone uses.
you can make that oneliner an alias for easier typing, or write an app to invoke it or do similar.
this was my first "will this even work" attempt. youtube-dl has a "--get-filename" that prints the filename that youtube-dl would've used. That should be used get names for the files on the phone.
