Normally, when you use --continue in conjunction with a youtube playlist, youtube-dl will skip files that are already downloaded.

In case of "-f bestvideo+bestaudio" (which pretty much is needed now in the age of 60fps videos which are only available as DASH streams), this detection fails though and the files are always re-downloaded.

This also applies to converting the audio stream: --audio-format mp3. Videos will be re-downloaded even though their respective end-product (*.mp3) already exists.

I would even consider this a bug, not a request. Workaround is to apply the converting manually afterwards.

For such cases you should use --download-archive.
