Youtube-DL: Date Modified












0















Using PowerShell on Windows I'm downloading a channel similar to this:



youtube-dl.exe `
--format 18 `
--continue `
--ignore-errors `
--no-overwrites `
--add-metadata `
--xattrs `
-o "\srvdsMediaYoutubeChannel%(upload_date)s.%(title)s.%(ext)s" `
https://www.youtube.com/user/Channel


Is there a way to change the file-modified date to match the date of the file upload date/time inside Youtube-DL?

          • Yeah, the goal was to do it in one pass with youtube-dl - pull file and use the "posted datetime" as the modified date. There are some hidden magics in console apps like it and figured I'd ask before I delved into PowerShell'y ways of doing it. I guess the question and tag does need a bit more clarification.
