Regarding the uploads: most profiles do have something called 'Popular Uploads' or 'Recent Uploads'. Hover with the mouse over the link, a 'play'-Button appears, click it, copy the URL (should have a &list parameter), paste the URL in youtube-dl (or a txt-file) and it will fetch all videos. I am not sure if this works for favorites, too, but that's the way I do it. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
