My Current

youtube-dl.conf

-u UserName
-p Password
--download-archive archive.txt
-i
-c
--no-warnings
--console-title
--batch-file='batch-file.txt'
-o 'MySafVideos/%(playlist_title)s/%(chapter_number)s - %(chapter)s/%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s'
-f 'bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]/worst'

CMD

youtube-dl.exe --playlist-start 52 --playlist-items 52-58 Playlist_URL

Problem

Normally I know what is the number of videos in the playlist (Ex. Collected 71 video ids (downloading 30 of them))

Instead of,
--playlist-items 52-58
I want to pass
--playlist-items 52-last
So that it gets rest of the videos in the playlist. Otherwise I have to check the Collected video ids to know about the remaining videos in the playlist.

Use --playlist-start 52.
