# This example shows how to download and format a music video OR playlist # of music videos to display in Kodi as a music video. The format will # look like: # # /path/to/Music Videos # Elton John/ # Elton John - Rocketman-thumb.jpg # Elton John - Rocketman.mp4 # Elton John - Rocketman.nfo # System of a Down/ # System of a Down - Chop Suey-thumb.jpg # System of a Down - Chop Suey.mp4 # System of a Down - Chop Suey.nfo # ... # configuration: working_directory: '.ytdl-sub-downloads' presets: music_video: # Set the download details download: # We will only use a single URL to download music video(s). # Make {url} an override variable to set later. download_strategy: "url" url: "{url}" # For advanced YTDL users only; any YTDL parameter can be set here. # To download age-restricted videos, you will need to set your cookie # file here as a ytdl parameter. For more info, see # https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#download-age-restricted-youtube-videos ytdl_options: # cookiefile: "path/to/cookie_file.txt break_on_existing: True # Stop downloads if it already exists # For each video downloaded, set the file and thumbnail name here. # We set both with {music_video_name}, which is a variable we define in # the overrides section further below to represent consistent naming format. output_options: output_directory: "{music_video_directory}" file_name: "{music_video_name}.{ext}" thumbnail_name: "{music_video_name}-thumb.jpg" info_json_name: "{music_video_name}.{info_json_ext}" maintain_download_archive: True # For each video downloaded, add a music video NFO file for it. Populate it # with tags that Kodi will read and use to display it in the music or music # videos section. nfo_tags: nfo_name: "{music_video_name}.nfo" nfo_root: "musicvideo" tags: artist: "{artist}" title: "{title}" album: "Music Videos" year: "{upload_year}" # Overrides is a section where we can define our own variables, and use them in # any other section. We define our music video directory and episode file name # here, which gets reused above for the video, thumbnail, and NFO file. # Recommended to override the artist variable since {channel} is not always # the artist's exact name. overrides: music_video_directory: "path/to/Music Videos" music_video_name: "{artist_sanitized}/{artist_sanitized} - {title_sanitized}" artist: "{channel}"
