Solved Getting current download progress from yt-dl or api

Hi, is there a way to get the current download progress of a yt video via yt-dl?

I had a look at the API and saw the /bot/jobs route which contained both 'eta' and 'perc' but they don't appear to be filled? I tried this with a long video that should've taken about a minute to download on my server and they were never populated.

I couldn't find much in the scripting docs either, nor could I really find any topics on such subjects.

Thanks.

It seems that the eta and perc is populated. I tried out a 3 hour long album and noticed the message also included the download speed and total downloaded.
