progress_hook and already downloaded videos?

[Elite]

While using the below code and listening to progress_updates, no information is pushed either to Logger object neither anything gets updated in progress_hook(pr) telling that video is already downloaded. How to get that information?

Wouldn't it be good to emit an finished status to progress_hook in such a condition?

directory = os.path.join(os.path.expanduser('~'), 'Desktop')
        ydl_options = {
            'outtmpl': os.path.join(directory, '%(title)s-%(id)s.%(ext)s'),
            'logger': Logger(),
            'nooverwrites': True,
            'continuedl': True,
        }

        with YoutubeDL(ydl_options) as ydl:
            ydl.add_default_info_extractors()
            ydl.add_progress_hook(progress_hook)
            ydl.download([self.url])

2 days no reply, any idea guys?

The problem is you are setting 'nooverwrites', if you don't set it, you'll get the message [download] {filename} has already been downloaded. The progress_hook sent will have status set to download, we could set another status.

@jaimeMF I guess finished should be a better consistent status.

Sorry, it's actually finished, i was thinking about setting it to already_downloaded, to make if different.

How about emitting already_downloaded while extracting only video information?

[jaimeMF]

We currently only use the progress hook in the downloaders, we could add it (maybe extraction_finished would be better), but please, open a new issue for that.

If this issue is solved then @phihag we can close it.
