Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

For example, I have a batch file with currently 50 youtube channels (growing daily), some of which have upwards of 1-2000+ videos, EG (I only really care about the last 1-2 years for most), Is there any way to specify config settings for each channel individually?

--config-location.

Would that allow for setting settings for each channel? Like, 1 channel in the file only downloads videos from after 8-1-16, and another only downloads videos from after 1-1-18

It doesn't seem like it does from the readme file..

[Zachary24]

--config-location.

?

You must group URLs per channel and invoke youtube-dl providing config location.

I'm not asking to download individual videos, I'm asking about a youtube channel in its entirety. One url for one channel, all channel URLs are in a url.txt file, but I don't want to download ALL videos from each channel, only after a certain point in time (--dateafter), for one channel i may only want to start downloading videos from up until 2 years ago, while another I may want the entire channel, I'm not asking for setting session wide configurations, If that's not something that's already been implemented, id ask if the issue gets reopened.
