youtube-dl - how to redownload only the files in the playlist that didn't merge and not completed?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I use --archive command to have list of completed videos downloaded in text file, used by youtube-dl so as not redownload them when downloading a playlist. But there are so many errors, incomplete files that have mistakenly listed in archive.txt, meaning they wont redownload. How to just download the files from a folder that are not complete and not merged, they consist of three files for same video, like videoname.f397, videoname.f140, videoname.temp
I need them to all look like videoname.mp4
When i first downloaded, i had the --ignore-errors command, because wanted it to skip over files that are problems, and it can revisit later. But based on archive.txt they already are listed and can't be redownloaded without redownloading the entire playlist from scratch, which I don't want.
A possible solution, would be if there is a way for me to get the url of all the completed files and put them in a new fresh archive.txt so youtube-dl only downloads those videos that I don't have that didn't merge. But I don't know how to do that automatically, in other words, create an archive list of my completed videos.
