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
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
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.
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
```
Makes setting yt-dlp's `format` field easier by giving it its own documented plugin.
Old:
```
my_format_preset:
ytdl_options:
format: "best"
```
New:
```
my_format_preset:
format: "best"
```
The old method will still work, so do not worry about updating configs ASAP. However, the option is available to save a few lines 😉
