Updating concern
When someone change their username you can't update automatically the new videos and you have to redownload all from the beginning with the new username if you don't want waste time calculating.
Also i update my folders with hundreds username list.
Is it possible to make so if you download all with the username list to update your folders, it detects the username changes then rename the concerned folders and update by downloading the new videos missing in the folder with the json ?
Or at least detect username change & renaming the folder and redownloading all, building the history and the duplicates videos will just being overwrite since videos have the same filenames.
You cannot "detect username changes" without first signing into your account, look for username mismatches, download some videos and then search for identical hash to confirm that the new user is indeed someone already in the list.
