autonumber offset

[cytec]

is it somehow possible to give an autonumber offset so that it would not start from 00000 but from 00012 or something like that?

Currently it's not possible, why do you need it?

[cytec]

im downloading a playlist from youtube and sometimes there are added new videos to this playlist, when i then restart the download with the playlist-start tag the numbering starts from 1 again instead of number x which im downloading...

So basically i want to append the playlist video number to the filename :)

This behaviour is possible since a few versions ago, you can use %(playlist_index)s instead of %(autonumber)s. This will do exactly what you want.

playlist_index is really useful. But is there an equivalent to --autonumber-size? Just as I don't need so many zeros with autonumber, I'd like to only use 2 digits with playlist_index as well.

Edit Created a new issue:

@JasonJAyalaP open a new issue for that request, please.

@phihag this has also apparently been fixed
