Hello,

I noticed that youtube-dl is not able to detect wether a youtube video is already downloaded if it was downloaded as two separated dash streams and merged with avconv and both streams are deleted afterwards.

For example if you download a video with the format 299+141 youtube-dl only checks if there are files called FILENAME.f299.mp4 and FILENAME.f141.m4a and not FILENAME.mp4. This makes it difficult to have a script download whole youtube channels without re-downloading all videos each time.

It would be nice if you could this functionality.

Have you tried using the --download-archiveoption?
