For Example:
youtube-dl -datebefore 20110804 “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar”
download this video, if it was uploaded before the 4th of Aug 2011
or
youtube-dl -dateafter 20110804 “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar”
or
youtube-dl -date 20110804 “http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=foobar”

It will be very handy for my playlist downloads. I rename my videos and youtube-dl downloads them one more time. Date filter will solve my problem.

Thanks for your attention.

Hi, this is exactly what could solve my problem as well. Again paylist download is great and with the date option would be just awesome. Kindly sad that is made in python, if it would be C or something what I understand I would make this feature myself. But still if somebody makes it, I'm willing pay small amount on his paypal, if that helps.

A common use for this seems to be to automatically download the newest videos in a channel. We should support dates in the form now[+-][0-9]+(day|week|month|year)(s)?.

Now I had time to check the new git version, updated it on NAS and it seams to me that it isn't there yet. I was confused that it's already supported. Now I'm not so much. Now + - days are fine, but even having option to send fixed timestamp would be excellent. Having fixed date would be I think better than this flexible system. For start would be easier to implement (i think :) ). And everybody wanting to get there any flexible dates could use date -d "now -2 day" and then feed result to your downloaded. I download one channel it got over 200 videos and over 50GBs, so now I would like to burn at least half of them on bluray and having ability to put fixed date would avoid re-downloading the burned and deleted files. And it would work better than having now-200day and tomorrow changing it to now-201day etc...

Also issues should stay open if they're legit, just assign to a _backlog label or something?
