Download failed `m3u` tracks #44

Closed markst closed 3 months ago

When performing a batch download occasionally some downloads fail.

We do have the option to pass --m3u fails which will keep track of failed downloads.

This subsequently can be used for future downloads to ignore: --skip-not-found

We can pass --skip-existing which will make best attempt at identifying if a track has already downloaded. However sometimes we experience duplication when this match is not 100%.

It would be great to be able to just pass the m3u (or a csv) of the failed downloads in order to attempt downloading again. Rather than passing entire playlist again which can result in duplication.

I'll add --skip-mode m3u which instead of looking at the files in the output directory will skip everything that doesn't have a failed entry in the output m3u.

Note that --remove-from-source will edit the source csv file and remove all lines where the track has been downloaded successfully. The resulting csv will only contain failed downloads and you could then run the program again with this csv. This already does what you want, I think.

--skip-mode m3u is available in the latest release https://github.com/fiso64/slsk-batchdl/releases/tag/v2.2.7
