Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When a video is downloaded with --download-archive command line, youtube-dl puts video ID to specified archive file. Some videos from different uploaders can have same video ID such as the links below;
https://vk.com/video447593212_456239020
https://vk.com/video-156864573_456239020

Yes.
Thats really an issue in the Archive-File the whole Video ID from URL must be stored.

[blndev]

That was quick. I just checked out the sources to do that as well ;-)

Just a hint for thread owner: when downloading, also the Filename is checked (if filename is already existing, file is also not downloaded but marked in archive as finished).

I solved it by the following Filename pattern: -o ~/autodown/%(extractor)s/%(uploader)s-_-%(title)s-id%(id)s.%(ext)s

[nulledone]

@blndev Yes I had a different naming with url(vid+uploader id) embedded to overcome this as well.

Just a trace for thread owner: when downloading, additionally the Filename is checked if filename is already existing, file is also no longer downloaded however marked in archive as finished.
