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
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.
* [BACKEND] Support empty urls for multi_url, add overrides for extra urls in tv_show_by_date preset
* need to check for missing urls in downloader
* use override in test
* docs about multi url
