Use template placeholder in --download-archive

[dldummy]

It seems that the placeholders %(xxx)s dont work in case of --download-archive

Is it possible to implement some ... at least %(playlist)s
like --download-archive ".\LOG%(playlist)s.dllog"

Thanks ....

Output template is not supposed to be used as argument to --download-archive because it's name must be stable otherwise it would defeat the idea of download archive.

Yes your right ... in case of %(title)s or other video dependant templates ....
But playlistname, uploader, format, .... can be usefull .....( ... no uploader isnt .... make no sense)

Its usefull for me to seperate the archivefiles of different youtube-playlists ...
Some viedeos are added to more than one "PROCESSING"-playlist (Video, AudioOnly, LoResVideo) ...
with one archivefile it only DL it in one format, then ignore the existence in the other playlists .....

Then don't add these videos to the archive file? If you put the same link to process in different files, it will be downloaded more than once. If you don't want that, remove duplicate links beforehand.

This is not within scope of youtube-dl.
