we need to be able to add playlist urls to a archive.txt file generated with --download-archive. I recently deleted me whole library when I got up to go use the bathroom, I must have deleted it somehow when I got up (or my girlfriend did it on purpose, who knows). But I though I was saved when I remembered that there is an archive function. But quickly realized this is only for individual links to videos, which doesn't preserve the folder structure of format specifiers like c:/content/%(playlist)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s and just jams all the videos in a single "NA" folder. But not having playlist urls in the archive.txt is like punching yourself in the face

There also should be a quick integrity check of sorts, that can restore a users accidentally deleted files.

Lol "out of scope" - you mean "to fuggin lazy"

just for your information I am having to manually restore my complete library in which I had a detailed archive list but there were no playlist urls which in turn means I cannot use the format specifier "%(playlist)s" to create folders. All of which could be edited for a few lines of code to solve. NAH I GOT A BETTER IDEA!!! LETS CLOSE THE THREAD!!!
