Hey!
I am downloading a playlist from youtube using the archive function of youtube-dl. This way I can keep my local copy up to date in a quick and easy way. Though there are sometimes errors due to restricted content in my country. And it's true that some videos may not be viewed here (in Germany)
Thats fine, I don't really need those. I can ignore them with the
-ioption. But if the playlist is containing thousands of videos, combinded with a slow internet connection, trying to process the unarchived video over and over again costs a lot of extra time.Im pretty sure you know what I mean, but anyway, here's a snippet of my output
... and so on.
When downloading with the
--download-archiveoption, in my opinion, there should be some sort of way to put the failed downloads into that archive file (or a second one)so because I won't move anywhere, youtube-dl doesn't even need to try downloading restricted videos over and over again.
I could think of something like
--remember-geo-errorsor--geo-error-archive FILEMaybe there is just some cool workaround available that I didn't think of.
Thank you! :)
