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"
]
}
```
Attempts to make writes to the download archive safer (https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/982).
`ytdl-sub` will now *copy* the download archive from the working directory to the output directory with a temp name, then perform a *move* to store it with its final expected name. This will drastically lower the window of time where the process could die mid-write and corrupt it on the next read.
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
Fixes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/912
If a required variable (like uid) is missing, ytdl-sub will error. This bugfix prevents sites that do not provide an upload date from erroring.
A recent feature to grab channel artwork for playlists caused downloading channels to misreport the number of entries it was downloading. This change fixes that
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
Makes it possible to fix https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/756
In the case that uploader_url does not equal the input url, keep trying to fetch uploader_url to get all possible metadata that yt-dlp does not provide in a single API call
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
Reduce memory usage significantly when pulling large channels all at once by
- Not loading entry script until it is being processed
- Deleting the entry memory once fully processed
- Disable yt-dlp from keeping entry info in memory since ytdl-sub reads it from file
