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.
Adds the ability to create map and list-based override variables.
For example, you can now create lists like this:
```
overrides:
urls:
- "https://...1"
- "https://...2"
```
which is equivalent to:
```
overrides:
urls: >-
{
[
"https://...1",
"https://...2",
]
}
```
Likewise, maps can now look like:
```
overrides:
music_video_category:
concerts:
- "https://...1"
- "https://...2"
interviews:
- "https://...3"
```
which is equivalent to:
```
overrides:
music_video_category: >-
{
"concerts": [
"https://...1",
"https://...2"
],
"interviews": [
"https://...3"
]
}
```
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
Adds a the new field `breaking` to the `date_range` plugin, to toggle whether an entry breaks subsequent metadata pulls. This is useful to disable if you are grabbing a playlist that may have videos out of order, but still want to apply a date range to it.
With the right functions, it was possible for subscription validation to raise a false-positive error. This should hopefully resolve that issue and give validation a small performance increase
With both `--match` and `--dl-override`, it is now possible to more easily experiment with subscriptions without needing to create a separate file.
For example, suppose you are changing some values in your subscription "Rick A" and want to test them out. You can now run:
```
ytdl-sub sub --dry-run --match Rick --dl-override '--ytdl-options.max_downloads 3'
```
This will
1. Dry-run
2. Only run for the subscription "Rick A"
3. Apply setting max_downloads to 3
Prior PR did not actually work - this actually fixes the bug (https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/844) where subscription names would drop periods from them, i.e. Mr. Beast would have the name Beast.
POTENTIAL BREAKING CHANGE
If you have a subscription with a period in its name prior to this fix, this change will make it so your download archive is not found since it uses the subscription name in the download archive file path. To fix, simply change the download archive JSON's name to have the actual subscription name, and not the dropped-period one.
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

Removes the deprecated `__value__` field in the subscriptions file (different from `__preset__` which is NOT deprecated). This was very short-lived, and most likely not used.
Partial fix to https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/853
Makes computing sibling metadata optional, defaulted to False. This prevents excessive memory usage when scraping large channels
Python would think a recursive error occurred, but in reality, the stack got too large due to poor optimization when executing array reduce functions. Thanks Melissa from Discord for the bug report!
Adds generic `filter_include` and `filter_exclude` plugins in anticipation for function script usage. Will detail it more with official docs at a later time!
A complete gutting of the internals of ytdl-sub to support functions in our variable syntax, in addition to being able to access a yt-dlp entry's .info.json fields using functions. Functionally, ytdl-sub should still look and behave the same from a user-perspective.
With so many lines of code changed (+8927, -2708), no doubt there will be new issues. Please make a GH issue or reach out on Discord if your config/subscriptions break in any way/shape/form.
Details on how to use function support will come soon in the form of proper documentation in our readthedocs.
For less popular sites, ytdl-sub's custom download archive was not working. This was because we weren't using the right extraction key (though it still worked for YouTube, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, and others). This bugfix should now exactly match yt-dlp's and never be a problem again.
Huge thanks to @Svagtlys for root-causing this 🤝
Adds a new mechanism to limit subscriptions' number of videos to an explicit number (only supported date ranges prior to this).
Example usage:
```
output_options:
keep_max_files: 10
```
will only keep 10 videos at max.
In addition:
- `keep_max_files` is bundled into the `Only Recent` preset and can be used via setting the `only_recent_max_files` override variable (see examples or README for usage).
- Changed the `date_range` variable name to `only_recent_date_range` for more clarity. Usage of `date_range` will continue to work.
Provides options to make ytdl-sub look more 'human-like' to protect from throttling. For range-based values, a random number will be chosen within the range to avoid sleeps looking scripted.
Usage:
```
throttle_protection:
sleep_per_download_s:
min: 2.2
max: 10.8
sleep_per_subscription_s:
min: 9.0
max: 14.1
max_downloads_per_subscription:
min: 10
max: 36
subscription_download_probability: 1.0
```
