I've been using:
youtube-dl -f best -ciw -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" -v URL_of_YT_channel
in order to backup YouTube channels. It does seem to rewrite the files, however. I thought the -w was not to rewrite? I'd like to run it once a day and only scrape the videos that haven't been downloaded already. What's the recommended way to do that? I also want to keep videos that were removed from the channel (I don't want them to be deleted from the backup).
Thanks!
