Well, I have some good and really good news to deliver.

>downloader.zip
This looks broken already but the github(in >>5370), you probably got it from, seems to have updated version so I took that one and added from-file downloading where it downloads all entries from a file, you can (you should) use it with youtube playlists, they just need to have fetched IDs and names with youtube-dl (detailed instructions with examples provided in README in .zip). Hopefully there's not too many bugs, I tested it but I don't really use python much because I really hate it

>Really good news
It looks like google is using different JSON structure now and it contains links to avatars! This obviously makes downloading them much much easier (and faster to automate). But this also means that all comments that have been saved so far should be re-downloaded if avatars are still desired in final package.

>I would love to hear any ideas you have.
For the storing/distribution format (at least for YT videos) I think the best would be to parse the JSON comments to some HTML file where we will also embed the archived video. This would have several benefits:
- We can just ZIP it to transfer it/store it
- If you want to view content you just extract it anywhere and open the main.html file and everything is in one place
- We can use any browser, that can play video, for viewing archived content
- If you need to access any of the archived files for whatever reason you will still have "original" files to work with (I think we should include RAW Jsons as well because someone may make some better player/viewer in the future and serialized data would be obviously better to work with)
- Searchable unlike screencaps - possibly taggable (screencaps can be included for preserving the feel of the site)
- easy to replicate - if someone has enough brainpower to create few folders and then move correct files there, he can help
