I'm having a similar issue. Using the Log: Link to downloaded video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kt8K4giKny8 How it shows up in my feed after the download: How it should show up in my feed after the download: It's not just the one video, it was consitently only marking the first part of the video as watched in my testing. |

I noticed this same thing happening, but when I checked my feed again later, the videos had the full red bar. I haven't tracked down exactly how much later this happened, but I checked after a few hours. |

Please follow the guide below
xinto all the boxes [ ] relevant to your issue (like this:[x])Make sure you are using the latest version: run
youtube-dl --versionand ensure your version is 2019.01.16. If it's not, read this FAQ entry and update. Issues with outdated version will be rejected.Before submitting an issue make sure you have:
What is the purpose of your issue?
The following sections concretize particular purposed issues, you can erase any section (the contents between triple ---) not applicable to your issue
If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:
Add the
-vflag to your command line you run youtube-dl with (youtube-dl -v <your command line>), copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information
When run with the
--cookiesflag, and a proper cookies.txt (retrieved via cookies.txt add-on), the videos are not actually marked as watched on YouTube. I did see this issue already submitted: #18546. This was marked as resolved, but I have not been able to get this to work for myself (hence why I marked it as a question and support).The main reason why I am using the cookies file is to bypass having to enter in my 2FA code for every video on the channel/playlist. If youtube-dl could require the 2FA code at the beginning of the download, and then hold onto a token to pass for each consecutive video, dealing with this would not be a requirement.
