Looking for the best way to download twitch VODS

I'd like to know what the best way of automatically downloading twitch VODS are if anyone does this?

I want to use the subscription mode in Stacher to automatically download VODs once a stream is completed, but I'm running into a few issues with it.

The videos are downloading in multiple parts, even after I turned the .part file setting off. I'm not that knowledgeable for what the best settings are, but I’d like it to give me a single file I can use for archive processes, with smallest file size possible with still watchable 1080p quality.

My video settings are set to 1080p format, and re-encode video set to MP4 and disable .part enabled. Everything else is default.

The subscription setup I am using is attempting to download the video every hour, then it "fails" because it's already downloaded. Is there a way to stop this notifying me every hour, and just check before it attempts the download so it doesn't fail and clog up the queue.

My subscription setup for twitch is using the twitch.tv/[channel]/videos page URL

Is there a way to set Modified Date to the video upload date shown on yt?

So Im trying to download a playlist, and I turned on the "Use the Last Modified Time" setting in order to have the date on the files match the upload date on youtube.

The problem is, the dates being used aren't correct. For SOME of the videos the date matches the original upload date shown in youtube, and then for others it will use a completely different, seemingly random date. For example, video 1 in the playlist shows 10/01/2018, video 2 shows 11/11/2025, and video 3 shows 10/15/2018 - videos 1 and 3 are the correct original upload date, but video 2 should be 10/08/2018, i have no idea where the 2025 date is coming from

Usually I would just download the playlist in order and use the current date/time and that would work fine for sorting, its only an issue here because there are a couple videos from this creator that had to be removed from yt and I downloaded those separately from another site, and I want to be able to slot them into the folder with all the others but keep them sorted in chronological order

Anyone know what the other date might be, and if there's a way to use the original upload date?
