title: Getting YouTube-dl to archive a whole channel, without download videos
body: <p>I'm trying to get Youtube-dl to make an archive list of all the videos on a specified channel. I've got it doing that by downloading videos at the lowest quality, but I was wondering if there was a way to just get the id and archive it - without having to download like 4500+ videos</p>
  
  <p>This is what I have currently. It downloads the videos to a separate folder. the ffmpeg bit on the end probably isn't needed, but it's left over from another command I know works.</p>
  
  <p><code>youtube-dl.exe --download -i -f worst --download-archive Archive.txt https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCH-_hzb2ILSCo9ftVSnrCIQ -o "E:\Video\YTDL\%(title)s.%(ext)s" --ffmpeg-location "%CD%\ffmpeg\bin"
  </code>
  I tried --simulate and --skip-download, but that just results in nothing happening in the cmd...</p>
