From c1c9a79c49e8656f3244744e6f4e336e47a03206 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Philipp Hagemeister Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 04:27:09 +0200 Subject: Add basic --download-archive option Often, users want to be able to download only videos they haven't seen before, despite the video files having been deleted or moved in the mean time. When --download-archive FILE is given, the extractor and ID of every download is recorded in the specified file. If it is already present, the video in question is skipped. --- youtube_dl/__init__.py | 4 ++++ 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+) (limited to 'youtube_dl/__init__.py') diff --git a/youtube_dl/__init__.py b/youtube_dl/__init__.py index 03df835f2..a680d7c55 100644 --- a/youtube_dl/__init__.py +++ b/youtube_dl/__init__.py @@ -188,6 +188,9 @@ def parseOpts(overrideArguments=None): selection.add_option('--datebefore', metavar='DATE', dest='datebefore', help='download only videos uploaded before this date', default=None) selection.add_option('--dateafter', metavar='DATE', dest='dateafter', help='download only videos uploaded after this date', default=None) selection.add_option('--no-playlist', action='store_true', dest='noplaylist', help='download only the currently playing video', default=False) + selection.add_option('--download-archive', metavar='FILE', + dest='download_archive', + help='Download only videos not present in the archive file.
