* docs(config): Clarify preset ordering priority
Refs #1276
* docs(architecture): WIP Narrative how it works
Much of this is repetition of the reference docs and some of the changes here should
also be applied here. The goal is to repeat here the parts of the reference docs that
may hang up a user when reading "Getting Started" without sending them off to get lost
in the weeds of the reference docs.
Note that this references a `Quick Start` document which is just an empty placeholder
and is to be written in a subsequent change.
Fixes#1279
* docs(terms): Glossary redundant with architecture
Now that the introduction includes an architectural overview, that section introduces
new users to necessary concepts and associated terminology and makes the terminology
section redundant in that part of the docs.
* docs(quick): Add a rote quick start guide
This is what I came up with when I tried to write instructions requiring as little
understanding as possible. Doing so really did reinforce my impression that this just
shouldn't be done, that significant understanding is required for *any* use of ytdl-sub
and even offering a quick start may be irresponsible. I'm still on the fence, thoughts?
That said, I also think I got some good explanations out of this and a better
understanding of what the next bits of the Getting Started should be. This Quick Start
is currently redundant with other parts of the Getting Started pages. I suspect that
I'll end up repeating and/or reorganizing parts of this Quick Start into the next bits
of the Getting Started. To that end I might argue that this change is a WIP and that
merging should wait. But I could also argue that this is an incremental improvement and
can be merged before that other work. Your call.
* docs(start): Various rST/Sphinx markup issues
To protect new users, all prebuilt preset (excluding Soundcloud and Bandcamp) will include throttle protection by default.
> How do I disable?
Set the override variable `enable_throttle_protection: False`.
This can be done on a per-subscription basis and/or in the top __preset__ section to apply to all presets:
```
__preset__:
overrides:
enable_throttle_protection: False
```
> What if I already use throttle protection?
Your settings will override whatever values are set in the defaults.
Closes:
- https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1121
- https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1186
Adds the ability to make thumbnails square, both file and embedded. Usage:
```
my_preset:
square_thumbnail: True
```
Will soon enable this by default for all music-based presets with a toggle to disable.
Huge thanks to @Kentaro1043 for crafting the ffmpeg command for this!
Closes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/383
Adds the ability to toggle whether to use `upload_date` or `release_date` in the date_range plugin, which is used to cull older videos.
```
date_range:
type: "upload_date"
```
If using the Only Recent preset, it will be automatically applied based on whether your season/episode ordering uses release date or upload date.
Closes https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/issues/1182
Add the ability to print custom messages in override scripts. Adds the functions
- `print`
- `print_if_true`
- `print_if_false`
Will be used to make under-the-hood preset things more verbose.
Not all terminals/logs displayed colors correctly. Adds the ability to suppress any color via `--suppress-colors` cli arg.
Thanks @drewski3420 for the contribution 🎉
Adds the function `%contains_any`, and list support in a tilda override subscription. The end-goal of these features are to more easily add a title exclude list, like so:
```
__preset__:
filter_exclude:
- "{%contains_any( %lower(title), exclude_title_strings )}"
...
Jellyfin TV Show by Date:
~History Documentaries:
url: "https://..."
exclude_title_strings:
- "trailer"
- "preview"
```
A proper prebuilt preset or built-in functionality will follow this change.
Enhances the music video presets by supporting the following syntax:
`subscriptions.yaml`
```
__preset__:
overrides:
music_video_directory: "/music_videos"
# Choose between Jellyfin/Kodi/Plex Music Videos preset:
# - Plex Music Videos:
# - Jellyfin Music Videos:
# - Kodi Music Videos:
#
"Plex Music Videos":
= Pop: # Sets genre tag to "Pop"
"Rick Astley": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlaN88a7y2_plecYoJxvRFTLHVbIVAOoc"
"Michael Jackson": "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_mnY03zP6abNWH929q2XhGzWD_2uKJ_n8E"
= Rock:
# Prefixing with '+' puts the subscription into 'map-mode'.
# Music video presets in map-mode support grouping videos into different
# categories, which get set on the album field.
#
# URLs can either be strings, or maps that can overload title, year, date
"+ Guns N' Roses":
Music Videos:
- "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOTK54q5K4INNXaHKtmXYr6J7CajWjqeJ"
Concerts:
- title: "Live at The Ritz - New York City"
year: "1988"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OldpIhHPsbs"
- title: "Live at The Hollywood Bowl"
date: "2023-01-11"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7hutGlvq9I"
```
The 'map-mode' (denoted by `+`) lets you specify a map of music video categories. Under each category, a URL can be specified as-is or with additional metadata (title, year/date, url).
Music videos and concerts, especially older ones, are typically uploaded by random users with inconsistencies in their titles. This syntax aims to make it easy to specify individual URLs with the ability to overwrite their title and year, and group them by category.
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"
]
}
```
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
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
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
