Description
While using
youtube-dl <playlisit-id> --playlist-start 10on a playlist containing 60 videos,youtube-dldisplays 50 videos in playlist and counts them from 1 to 50 (Downloading video 1 od 50). When user does not know the exact count of videos in playlist, they don't know if--playlist-startworks or not. There is no indication of that whatsoever.My idea is to show more verbose info when using
--playlist--startand--playlist-end. Assuming one is runningyoutube-dl <playlisit-id> --playlist-start 10 --playlist-end 30on a playlist mentioned earlier, the message could be as follows:This way the user gets two important pieces of information:
--playlist--startand--playlist-endswitches do work,playlist video nnon[download]line tells exactly with what--playlist--startindex should the download be re-startedI believe this change won't require much work, but the result would pretty big for users.
