When a video ID is found then it is assumed to be already downloaded in the past and will not be downloaded again.

This function is not exported.

Arguments ('*' denotes required arguments):

  • log_file => str (default: "/home/s1/notes/download-logs.org")

    File that contains list of download filenames.

  • urls_or_ids* => array[str]

Returns an enveloped result (an array).

First element (status) is an integer containing HTTP status code (200 means OK, 4xx caller error, 5xx function error). Second element (msg) is a string containing error message, or 'OK' if status is 200. Third element (payload) is optional, the actual result. Fourth element (meta) is called result metadata and is optional, a hash that contains extra information.
