I'm using the --batch-file queue-list --download-archive done-list combo to download URLs automatically, but as the list has grown it's gotten very slow.

I thought about using grep -Fvxf done-list queue-list to prune the queue, but since the format is usually not the same (eg, youtube zbwo0O-QnUM vs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbwo0O-QnUM&feature=emb_title), grep can't do its magic.

Is there a way to, using youtube-dl, convert a list to its normalized form, as recognized by itself? That function is obviously already available internally.
