The
--continueoption has no effectffmpegis employed for downloading/transcoding, possibly becauseffmpegdoes not support resuming.If downloading a long video is interrupted (lost network connection, etc.), you have to download the whole file again even though 99% of the file is already downloaded. Annoying, needless to say...
It should be considered to retrieve the video data in a way that honours the
--continueflag. To reproduce, run the command, interrupt the download after a few seconds, and run it again.
