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
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.
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
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 🤝
file_convert.py:modify_entry() deletes the converted output file if the output and input file names are identical. Reordered the file deletion to avoid.
Thanks @OmarAhmadyar !
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.
ytdl-sub executables did not include the prebuilt music presets. This change fixes that and prevents the issue from happening again for any future prebuilt preset
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
```
As of ~2 days ago, the ytdl-sub-gui image broke from using an older version of the `code-server` image. After this push, it should be fixed + working as intended
