How do I...
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
...download age-restricted YouTube videos?
|
|
''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
See
|
|
`ytdls recommended way <https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-youtube-dl>`_
|
|
to download your YouTube cookie, then add it to your
|
|
`ytdl options <https://ytdl-sub.readthedocs.io/en/latest/config.html#ytdl-options>`_ section of your config:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
cookiefile: "/path/to/cookies/file.txt"
|

|
...automate my downloads?
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
`This part of the wiki <https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/wiki/7.-Automate-Downloading-New-Content-Using-Your-Configs>`_ shows how to set up ``ytdl-sub`` to run in a cron job within Docker.

|
|
There is a bug where...
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
...date_range is not downloading older videos after I changed the range
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
Your preset most likely has ``break_on_existing`` set to True, which will stop downloading additional metadata/videos if the video exists in your download archive. Set the following in your config to skip downloading videos that exist instead of stopping altogether.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
break_on_existing: False
|
|
|
|
After your download your new date_range duration, re-enable ``break_on_existing`` to speed up successive downloads.
|
|
|
|
...it is downloading non-English title and description metadata
|
|
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
|
|
Most likely the video has a non-English language set to its 'native' language. You can tell yt-dlp to explicitly download English metadata using
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
extractor_args:
|
|
youtube:
|
|
lang:
|
|
- "en"

|
...Plex is not showing my TV shows correctly
