--dateafter Not Working With PH

[seniorm0ment]

Command: youtube-dl --add-metadata --embed-thumbnail -c --yes-playlist -v -i --dateafter now-10months "https://pornhub.com/pornstar/indigo-white/videos/"

It starts by grabbing all the pages, then says 1/304 videos, and starts downloading the videos from video 1.

Looked in the docs, didn't see any way to "grab all videos created after this link" so I can just link a video, then it grabs all videos made after that. Seems like it'd work more universal than relying on dateafter which seems like it might only work on some websites, unless I'm doing something wrong?

--dateafter ... works, or it does now, but each playlist video has to be extracted to find its upload_date and decide whether to download it.

(WIP version)

$ python -m youtube_dl -v --test -c --yes-playlist --dateafter 'now-2months' "https://pornhub.com/pornstar/savannah-bond/videos/"

In case a playlist is sorted so that the newest item is at one end, you can use the playlist index options to get the most recent items.

To get items more recent than a known video, you could use a shell/batch script with a tool like jq to extract the known video's upload_date from its Info-JSON (that you also saved) and passing that as the --dateafter parameter.

Also consider using the --download-archive ... feature.
