Originally created by @forthrin on GitHub (Dec 20, 2015).

Take a look at Apple Trailers Downloader. It has the brilliant function of continuously downloading all new ("Latest") trailers from Apple, by keeping track of already downloaded trailers by checking a text file rather than local file existence. Thus trailers that are downloaded earlier and deleted are not downloaded again!

youtube-dl already supports Apple Trailers. Could a similar "download all videos that haven't been downloaded earlier" functionality be added for all sites that have video lists of some sort. I reckon a single text file would suffice for keeping track of all downloaded videos.

You guys have thought of everything, haven't you? :) I really got to read the manual thoroughly some day! However, which URL do I give youtube-dl for downloading all (latest) Apple Trailers?

youtube-dl --download-archive ~/.youtube-dl.txt http://trailers.apple.com/#section=justadded
ERROR: Unsupported URL: http://trailers.apple.com/#section=justadded

I'll ask the author of ATD if he would be willing to merge the functionality into youtube-dl. Both tools are Python which should make things easier.

See comment https://github.com/aag/apple_trailer_downloader/issues/9#issuecomment-166712991 It would be nice if someone took the effort to support playlists at Apple Trailers.
