I was downloading a playlist from youtube using youtube-dl. I used autonumbering feature to number the videos which could be achieved by formatting the name of output file as follows -o "%(autonumber)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s". The download failed in between. Now I wish to start the autonumber from the video next to failed video and not 1. But autonumber resets itself to 1 everytime. How can I set it to a different number greater than 1 ?
For playlists you should use playlist_index instead: -o '%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s'
