Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When a command is run with the following arguments:

youtube-dl --match-filter "duration <= 600 & uploader != __some user name__ & uploader != '__some other user name with spaces'" --mark-watched -n https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=WL

and following in the youtube-dl.conf file:

-f '(bestvideo+bestaudio/best)[ext!=webm]' --no-part -o __some location__/%(title)s.%(ext)s --cookies _some other location__/cookies.txt

videos that are skipped due to the 'match-filter' regex argument are still marked as watched. Expected behavior is to only 'mark watched' videos that pass the filter and are downloaded.
