Currently working on something that will check if a YouTube video in a page has been downloaded before by comparing the video checksums and have noticed that the downloaded videos all have a different checksum on subsequent downloads (e.g. downloading the same video twice gives two different hashes).

Does anyone know why this happens? The only thing I can really think of for this is because of the YouTube meta data changing, but I'm not entirely sure if the metadata is saved with the video.

Duplicate of #2885. The issue contains the full information, but you're right, there's some metadata that will change on each download.
