[Question]View/log failed downloads

Checklist

• [ ] I'm reporting a bug unrelated to a specific site.
• [X] I've verified that I'm running the latest version of yt-dlp.
• [X] I've verified that I'm running the latest stable version of Seal or any later preview versions.
• [X] I've read the Contributing guidelines and Code Of Conduct.
• [X] I've checked that the site i'm trying to download from is in the Supported Sites list from yt-dlp
• [X] I understand that the issue will be (ignored/closed) if I intentionally remove or skip any mandatory field.

Description

I'm using Seal (version 1.13.1) on Android 14 , but there is a limitation when trying to keep track of downloads.

Whenever I share content with Seal from supported sites, the download process begins, but there’s currently no way to log or view downloads that fail. Manually monitoring each download to check for failures isn’t practical. It would be incredibly helpful if there were a way to log failed downloads just like successful/completed downloads are listed.

This feature would allow to quickly review and reattempt any downloads that didn’t complete successfully. It’s especially important when managing multiple downloads, as it's easy to miss if something doesn’t go through.

Could you clarify if this feature already exists and needs some configuration to enable, or if this functionality isn’t currently available? If it's not present, I’d like to request it as an enhancement.

Thank you.

Me too, I lost 5 songs in the playlist containing hundreds of songs, is there no other option other than scroll through and try to find what the missing songs are 1 by 1?

I have Seal open in a multitask window atm, trying to catch and copy errors to the clipboard. At 116 of 226 dls, I've caught 4 and missed 2 errors (cluster too close together to clipboard them). Thinking to myself, "It's free, it's free, it's free,..!" while also listening to metal on my firestick. 😄
