This is more of an yt-dlp feature request. So please ask them if this is possible. If it is, please get back at me with the command needed and it can be done

Excellent point. Searching through looks like you can use specific progress formatting to achieve it.

For the time being you can create a custom command with that and use it by default for your downloads. Let me know how it works and send me the command you used so i could add it in the next release as a setting

Thx, I'll take a look when I get time.

Also i believe this should just be an extra command you can set up to always apply on your downloads. Dont want to add excessive commands as its overfilled already
