I can see on the manpage that -w, --no-overwrites ---- do not overwrite files
but is there a "force overwrite" option so that the videos downloaded can be constantly replaced by newer ones?

[download] video.mp4 has already been downloaded

One possible fix is to add rm video.mp4; in front of the youtube-dl command.

Add --no-continue.

Personally I wouldn't use video.mp4 as the filename, playlists won't work as expected (and I think having the title in the filename is nicer).
