Initial Download ================ Once you have a ``subscriptions.yaml`` file created, you can perform your first download. Access ``ytdl-sub``, navigate to the directory containing your ``subscriptions.yaml`` file. Dry Run ------- Performing a dry run is important when applying any change to your subscriptions to ensure output looks as expected. Dry runs will pull metadata to *simulate* a download without actually downloading the media file. .. code-block:: shell ytdl-sub --dry-run sub subscriptions.yaml Faster Iteration Cycle ---------------------- Testing subscriptions can take quite some time to perform a full download. This can be speed up by applying an override via command-line to set max number of downloads. .. code-block:: shell ytdl-sub --dry-run sub subscriptions.yaml -o '--ytdl_options.max_downloads 3' Having many subscriptions could still make this dry run take a while. A subset of subscriptions can be dry ran using a match. .. code-block:: shell :caption: Only run subscriptions that have PBS in their names ytdl-sub --dry-run sub subscriptions.yaml -o '--ytdl_options.max_downloads 3' --match PBS Downloading ----------- WIP
