Presets ======= ``ytdl-sub`` offers a number of built-in presets using best practices for formatting media in various players. TV Shows -------- There are two main methods for downloading and formatting videos as a TV show. TV Show by Date ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TV Show by Date will organize something like a YouTube channel or playlist into a tv show, where seasons and episodes are organized using upload date. Player Presets """""""""""""" * ``kodi_tv_show_by_date`` * ``jellyfin_tv_show_by_date`` * ``plex_tv_show_by_date`` Episode Formatting Presets """""""""""""""""""""""""" * ``season_by_year__episode_by_month_day`` * ``season_by_year_month__episode_by_day`` * ``season_by_year__episode_by_month_day_reversed`` * Episode numbers are reversed, meaning more recent episodes appear at the top of a season by having a lower value. * ``season_by_year__episode_by_download_index`` * Episodes are numbered by the download order. NOTE that this fetched using the length of the download archive. Do not use if you intend to remove old videos. Usage """"" A preset/subscription requires specifying a player and episode formatting preset and overriding the following variables: .. code-block:: yaml rick_a_tv_show_by_date: preset: - "jellyfin_tv_show_by_date" - "season_by_year__episode_by_month_day" overrides: # required tv_show_name: "Rick A" tv_show_directory: "/path/to/youtube_shows" url: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw" # can be modified from their default value # episode_title: "{upload_date_standardized} - {title}" # episode_description: "{webpage_url}" TV Show Collection ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TV Show Collections are made up from multiple URLs, where each URL is a season. If a video belongs to multiple URLs (i.e. a channel and a channel's playlist), it will resolve to the bottom-most season. Two main use cases of a collection are: 1. Organize a YouTube channel TV show where Season 1 contains any video not in a 'season playlist', Season 2 for 'Playlist A', Season 3 for 'Playlist B', etc. 2. Organize one or more YouTube channels/playlists, where each season represents a separate channel/playlist.
