progresshook with download timestamp while using youtube-dl

[ramadivyasri]

Hi, Is there any provision to print the download progress along with appropriate timestamp?

Could you give your expected sample output?

and so on....
I want to get the epoch time for each hook that is being generated and printed while download goes on. Can the dl print the progress hook with relevant timestamp?? If this feature does not exist, how can it be implemented??

This is not implemented. You can modify the function FileDownloader.report_progress so that it displays timestamps. I can't make the change in official youtube-dl as many third party applications parse these lines to for progress reporting and adding an extra field is likely to break them.
