Please add comment support in snatch.list so we can add description about channel/playlist.

Need the ability to add a --bwlimit to rclone

Loving this tool, but I need to be able to add a bandwidth limit, so it doesn't trash my google drive upload. I like to preserve some upload capacity each day, so I can still use it if I need to.

Not cleaning up files after upload

Is this by intention to not clean up files left over, e.g. covers, json, description, occasional .webm?

I was running it on a rather large channel (2TB+) and eventually the VPS disk got filled due to those remaining files building up, and for some reason some .webm.parts - not sure on the cause of that yet.

Add an option to delay between downloads

I'm getting this HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests a bunch. An option to set a delay between grabs would be fantastic.

Thanks!

Add video ID to ERROR log

I sometimes get errors stating that the video is not available in my country, it would be useful to print the video ID with the error, so that we can just copy the ID and download using a VPN. Since it just writes ERROR: + error_message we have to set debug flag as true and wait it out until we reach the same error and find the ID from there..

I'm going to try to make a PR this weekend on this. Is it ok?

youtube-dl: You must provide at least one URL

This error seems to be from get_video_value(). I double checked, the URL gets passed in correctly.

$video_value in that function seems to return an empty string though.
I tried that same command on my shell and it worked. I even hardcoded a working example in get_video_value() and I still get this error.

This is my output:

Restricted filenames

Hi, I love your script and use it to archive some japanese and korean channels. Is there a way to remove --restrict-filenames without messing up the script?
