Enhances the music video presets by supporting the following syntax:
`subscriptions.yaml`
```
__preset__:
overrides:
music_video_directory: "/music_videos"
# Choose between Jellyfin/Kodi/Plex Music Videos preset:
# - Plex Music Videos:
# - Jellyfin Music Videos:
# - Kodi Music Videos:
#
"Plex Music Videos":
= Pop: # Sets genre tag to "Pop"
"Rick Astley": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlaN88a7y2_plecYoJxvRFTLHVbIVAOoc"
"Michael Jackson": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mnY03zP6abNWH929q2XhGzWD_2uKJ_n8E"
= Rock:
# Prefixing with '+' puts the subscription into 'map-mode'.
# Music video presets in map-mode support grouping videos into different
# categories, which get set on the album field.
#
# URLs can either be strings, or maps that can overload title, year, date
"+ Guns N' Roses":
Music Videos:
- "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTK54q5K4INNXaHKtmXYr6J7CajWjqeJ"
Concerts:
- title: "Live at The Ritz - New York City"
year: "1988"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OldpIhHPsbs"
- title: "Live at The Hollywood Bowl"
date: "2023-01-11"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7hutGlvq9I"
```
The 'map-mode' (denoted by `+`) lets you specify a map of music video categories. Under each category, a URL can be specified as-is or with additional metadata (title, year/date, url).
Music videos and concerts, especially older ones, are typically uploaded by random users with inconsistencies in their titles. This syntax aims to make it easy to specify individual URLs with the ability to overwrite their title and year, and group them by category.
This implements %regex_sub built-in function to enhance string-processing capabilities, allowing users to perform substitutes like:
- removing non-ascii characters
- replacing subsequent whitespace characters with a single whitespace
Thanks @tbabej !
Playlists have always been a pain-point with ytdl-sub. If an author adds new videos to the end of a playlist, as opposed to the front, it breaks ytdl-sub's intuition of incremental scraping by breaking on the first (oldest) video. This update now makes it possible to handle this in the prebuilt TV Show presets:
- Add each URL variable (`url`, `url2`, ...) into the `download` portion of the subscription twice
- First definition is what we all know and use, simply scrapes first-to-last, then downloads last-to-first
- Second definition does the following:
- Check to see if a URL is a YouTube playlist URL, if so...
- Set the field to download, but with modifications to scrape last-to-first, then download first-to-last
- Otherwise...
- Set the field to an empty string, which means ytdl-sub will skip it
To be used later for advanced presets. For subscriptions in the form of (+ as prefix)
```
+ Subscription Name:
Music Videos:
- "https://url1.com/..."
Concerts:
- "https://url2.com/..."
```
Stores all the contents under the subscription name into the override variable
``subscription_map`` as a Map value. The above example is stored as:
```
{
"Music Videos": [
"https://url1.com/..."
],
"Concerts: [
"https://url2.com/..."
]
}
```
Advanced scripting is needed to dissect this Map variable into a usable preset
Readthedocs for ytdl-sub is getting a massive overhaul to both look and read like a modernized app. It is still very-much work-in-progress, stay tuned for more!
Huge thanks to @Svagtlys (aka Momo) for driving this
