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"
]
}
```
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
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.
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.
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.
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
```
Extends the subscription.yaml syntax at the cost of introducing a breaking change.
# New Syntax
## Mix-n-match presets and indent variables
```
# Can mix/match presets and indent override variables.
# Uses presets TV Show, Only Recent and assigns Kids, TV-Y to subscription_indent_1 and _2
TV Show | = Kids | = TV-Y | Only Recent:
"Jake Trains": "https://..."
```
## Subscriptions with list-value support
```
TV Show | = Kids | = TV-Y | Only Recent:
"Jake Trains":
- "https://url.1..." # Assigns to subscription_value and subscription_value_1
- "https://url.2..." # Assigns to subscription_value_2
```
## Subscriptions with override-keys support
```
TV Show | = Kids | = TV-Y | Only Recent:
"~Jake Trains": # the ~ means "all keys underneath get assigned as override variables"
url: "https://url.1..." # Assigns to url
url2: "https://url.2..." # Assigns to url2
```
# Breaking Changes
In the TV show subscriptions example (https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/blob/master/examples/tv_show_subscriptions.yaml), it had
```
TV Show Full Archive:
# Sets "Kids" for genre, "TV-Y" for content rating
= Kids | TV-Y:
"Jake Trains": "https://www.youtube.com/@JakeTrains"
"Kids Toys Play": "https://www.youtube.com/@KidsToysPlayChannel"
```
This must be changed to
```
TV Show Full Archive:
# Sets "Kids" for genre, "TV-Y" for content rating
= Kids | = TV-Y: # Each indent variable assignment must have an = before it
"Jake Trains": "https://www.youtube.com/@JakeTrains"
"Kids Toys Play": "https://www.youtube.com/@KidsToysPlayChannel"
```
Creates standardized prebuilt presets for music videos. Preset names are:
```
"Kodi Music Videos"
"Jellyfin Music Videos"
"Plex Music Videos"
```
Usage can be found in the `examples/` directory
Adds the following prebuilt presets:
```
"Single"
"SoundCloud Discography"
"YouTube Releases"
"YouTube Full Albums"
"Bandcamp"
```
which require no config.yaml to use. Usage examples can be found in the `/examples` directory
The only required field in a config was `working_directory`. This is now optional (defaults to `.ytdl-sub-working-directory`) making it so a config is no longer required. This sets the stage to onboard noob users who will solely use prebuilt presets in a single subscription file
With the recent push to 'beautify subscriptions' (see https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/releases/tag/2023.10.02), we need the ability to change subscription names from their legacy form:
```
rick_a:
preset:
- "tv_show"
overrides:
tv_show_name: "Rick A"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
```
into:
```
tv_show:
"Rick A": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
```
This however has implications from ytdl-sub's legacy download archive naming. By default, we write archives to `.ytdl-sub-{subscription_name}-download-archive.json`. If we change the subscription name, the archive will not be found, causing a complete redownload. This new feature gives us the ability to migrate download archives to a new naming schema.
# Migrating to Beautified Subscriptions
## Step 0
BACK UP ALL CONFIG + SUBSCRIPTION FILES!!!!! If something goes wrong, restore your backup and try again and/or ask for help.
## Step 1
Since we know we'll be changing our `subscripion_name` to the value of `tv_show_name`, we can use that in our newly migrated download archive name by setting this within the `tv_show` preset (or whatever your 'base' preset is).
```
presets:
tv_show:
output_options:
migrated_download_archive_name: ".{tv_show_name_sanitized}-download-archive.json"
```
## Step 2
Perform a download as usual, via `ytdl-sub sub ...`. This will load the old archive, and save it into the new archive. You should see `MIGRATION DETECTED` within the logs. Ensure it completes successfully.
Perform another download invocation and ensure you see the `MIGRATION SUCCESSFUL` within the logs.
## Step 3
Now we can set:
```
presets:
tv_show:
output_options:
# rename migrated_download_archive_name to just download_archive_name
download_archive_name: ".{tv_show_name_sanitized}-download-archive.json"
overrides:
tv_show_name: "{subscription_name}"
url: "{subscription_value}"
```
Our download archives now default to our new format, and we set `tv_show_name` + `url` to use subscription values by default.
## Step 4
We can now beautify our subscription.yaml file to:
```
tv_show:
"Rick A": "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
```
Fixes yet another bug that is match-filter related. The `date_range.before` value would get ignored if you specified any other match-filters. That is fixed by making them `&` behind-the-scenes.
`Subscription Value` is the mechanism used to achieve one-liner subscriptions. It works by having the subscription `"Subscription Name": "value"`, and assigning `"value"` to an override variable via setting the subscription value to that override variable's name.
This feature allows you to set subscription value within the config. In the near future, ytdl-sub will strive to make subscription files simpler by hiding most of the "under-the-hood" logic within the config file.
Closes Issue: https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/729
Add a new field to the match_filter plugin: `download_match_filters`. This set of filters will be applied at the download stage (as opposed to `filters` which get applied at the metadata stage). By default, always set `"!is_live & !is_upcoming & !post_live"` as a download filter. This prevents ytdl-sub from hanging when trying to grab live and upcoming videos.
Docs on match-filters: https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#match-filters
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 😉
