# This example shows how we can use the `kodi_music_videos_config.yaml` preset # to download music videos in a few different ways. We will use made-up artists # in each example ############################################################################### # LEVEL 1 - DOWNLOAD MUSIC VIDEO PLAYLIST # Subscription names are defined by you. We will call this one john_smith # for simplicity, and it will download every single video in john_smith's music # video playlist. Many artists maintain a playlist of all their music videos, # which makes this an easy way to grab all of them. john_smith: # We must define a preset to use from our config. We named the one in the # config example "yt_music_video", so set that here. preset: "yt_music_video_playlist" # Since our preset download strategy is set to 'playlist', set the playlist url youtube: playlist_url: "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=UCsvn_Po0SmunchJYtttWpOxMg" # Overrides can be defined per-subscription. If you noticed, we used {artist} # and {artist_sanitized} in our "yt_music_video" preset. We intended to reserve # that variable to be defined for each individual subscription. Each override # defined here will create a '_sanitized' version that is safe for file systems. # # A note for Kodi music videos, it is important to make sure your artist name # exactly matches how it is formatted in Kodi itself, otherwise it will be # read in as a new artist overrides: artist: "John Smith and the Instrument Players" ############################################################################### # LEVEL 2 - DOWNLOAD SINGLE MUSIC VIDEO # It is not always ideal to download all of an artist's music videos. # Maybe you only like one song of theirs. We can reuse our preset # to download a single video instead. # # The only difference between this example and the one above is # - preset # Use the music video preset, not the playlist preset # - youtube.video_url # The video url to download # # Of course, defining yaml configuration to download a single video once # and never again seems weird. Instead, we can perform this download via # command: # # ytdl-sub dl \ # --preset "yt_music_video" \ # --youtube.video_url "https://youtube.com/watch?v=QhY6r6oAErg" \ # --overrides.artist "John Smith and the Instrument Players" # john_smith_one_hit_wonder: preset: "yt_music_video" youtube: video_url: "https://youtube.com/watch?v=QhY6r6oAErg" overrides: artist: "John Smith and the Instrument Players"
