Question

I was trying to download a playlist with subtitles, but because the playlist was long, and my connection was slow, I had to do this over a few days. What I noticed is that yt-dlp will re-embed the subtitles for existing videos (even though they have been embedded), and this takes ages.

What happens now
Day 1: Downloaded 1-10
Day 2: (re) embed 1-10, download 11-15
Day 3: (re) embed 1-15, download 16-18
...

Is there a way to NOT embed videos with subtitles, or simply ignore checking existing videos?

yt-dlp -o "Trash Taste/%(uploader)s: %(title)s.%(ext)s" --windows-filenames --embed-subs --sub-langs "en.*,zh.*,ja",-live_chat --ffmpeg-location "D:\Software\Passive\ffmpeg-master-latest-win64-gpl\bin" "https://www.youtube.com/c/TrashTaste"

The ffmpeg-location points to the patched build.

When you are not using --force-write-archive, the video is only added to archive after download and all postprocessing is done. So if you stop it midway, download fails etc, it won’t be added

The default order for youtube channels hasn’t changed in years. But could they change it? yes. You’ll need to go ask youtube if they will …

This is all I need to know XD Thanks, it worked.
