Youtube-dl autonumber 03d start number

I'm downloading a playlist with youtube-dl . I'm using this command line :

youtube-dl -i -f best -a playlist.txt -o "[VID]%(autonumber) 03d %(title)s.%(ext)s"

The first video always got the number 1 , example : [VID] 01 Video Title .

What flag do I need to add if I want to start from for example 500 .

I've tried -segment_start_number 500 and --playlist-start 500 , not working for .

Thank you for help .

Solution

  • Ok , I've found my own answer

    youtube-dl -i -f best -a playlist.txt --autonumber-start 500 -o "[VID]%(autonumber) 03d %(title)s.%(ext)s"

    So the --autonumber-start 500 it's the answer .
