Closes GH Issue #766, partially closes#520
Prior to this release, no other subscriptions would download if a subscription before it had an error. Now, subscriptions will continue to download even if one has an error, and will be reported in the output summary.
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
A follow-up to the prior commit which fixes some bugs in the 'beautiful subscriptions' implementation. A proper migration guide will be written in the wiki once it's ready
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"
```

Subscriptions support using presets as keys, and using keys to set override variables as values.
For example:
```
tv_show:
only_recent:
[News]:
"Breaking News": "https://www.youtube.com/@SomeBreakingNews"
[Tech]:
"Two Minute Papers": "https://www.youtube.com/@TwoMinutePapers"
```
Will create two subscriptions named "Breaking News" and "Two Minute Papers", equivalent to:
```
"Breaking News":
preset:
- "tv_show"
- "only_recent"
overrides:
subscription_indent_1: "News"
subscription_name: "Breaking News"
subscription_value: "https://www.youtube.com/@SomeBreakingNews"
"Two Minute Papers":
preset:
- "tv_show"
overrides:
subscription_indent_1: "Tech"
subscription_name: "Two Minute Papers" subscription_value: "https://www.youtube.com/@TwoMinutePapers"
```
You can provide as many parent presets in the form of keys, and subscription indents as ``[keys]``.
This can drastically simplify subscription definitions by setting things you want configurable like so in your
parent preset:
```
presets:
tv_show_name:
overrides:
tv_show_name: "{subscription_name}"
url: "{subscription_value}"
genre: "{subscription_indent_1}"
```
NOTE!!!
Changing your subscription name from 'legacy' subscriptions will need their download archive file migrated to a new name. A future update will assist in this migration process. Either wait until then or, if you consider yourself a ytdl-sub expert, keep a backup of your subscription file before migrating.
`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 😉
