  • I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2016.12.15

  • At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections

  • Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

  • Feature request (request for a new functionality)


Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

After I download a Youtube video, I would like to option to let Youtube know that I've watched the video. I realize this means giving youtube-dl my google account credentials. Perhaps there are other youtube-dl users who also would like to have this option.

This is in the same vein as #9733 ("Feature Request - Remove Videos from YouTube Playlist after Download")

Yan, thank you so much! Is there a way to have "--mark-watched" as the default setting? In other words, is there a way to have youtube-dl http://youtube.com/somevideo to automatically downloaded as though it had the --mark-watched option attached?
