[FEATURE] Add max_1080p prebuilt preset (#690)
* Fix Plex MP4

No WebM, Best quality, No AV1 either

* Fixed because I am idiot

Forcing Plex to download only MP4 and 1080P. More efficient then downloading Webm and converting. Plex does not direct Play AV1 currently anyway.

* Plex Update

Default will get best video in H265 or H264, if neither are available, it will get next best video. All MP4, no limit on resolution.

Plex_tv_show_av1 will allow for absolute best possible resolution in any codec as long as its MP4, including Av1 which is not currently supported in Plex.

Without AV1 is considered default, for maximum compatibility at this time.

* EBUATK

Incorrect setting on Av1, fixed.

* Removed Av1 Preset

* adding common 1080p MAX preset

max_1080_video_quality:

* removed remux video

Removed remux video
Shortened preset name.

* Update presets.rst

Update presets.rst documentation to reflect the "max_1080P" preset

* remove remux_video

* Title Change for Clarity

* Update presets.rst

Presets
=======
``ytdl-sub`` offers a number of built-in presets using best practices for formatting
media in various players. For advanced users, you can find the prebuilt preset
definitions
`here <https://github.com/jmbannon/ytdl-sub/tree/master/src/ytdl_sub/prebuilt_presets>`_.
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
# tv_show_genre: "ytdl-sub"
# tv_show_content_rating: "TV-14"
# episode_title: "{upload_date_standardized} - {title}"
# episode_description: "{webpage_url}"
In addition, you can add additional URLs to create a single TV by using the override variables
``url2``, ``url3``, ..., ``url20``:
.. code-block:: yaml
overrides:
tv_show_name: "Rick A"
tv_show_directory: "/path/to/youtube_shows"
url: "https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuAXFkgsw1L7xaCfnd5JJOw"
url2: "https://www.youtube.com/@just.rick_6"
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.

Episode Formatting Presets
""""""""""""""""""""""""""
* ``season_by_collection__episode_by_year_month_day``
* ``season_by_collection__episode_by_year_month_day_reversed``
* ``season_by_collection__episode_by_playlist_index``
* Only use playlist_index episode formatting for playlists that
will be fully downloaded once and never again. Otherwise,
indices can change.
* ``season_by_collection__episode_by_playlist_index_reversed``
Season Presets
""""""""""""""
* ``collection_season_1``
* ``collection_season_2``
* ``collection_season_3``
* ``collection_season_4``
* ``...``
* ``collection_season_40``
Example
"""""""
A preset/subscription requires specifying a player, episode formatting, and
one or more season presets, with the following override variables:
.. code-block:: yaml
rick_a_tv_show_collection:
preset:
- "jellyfin_tv_show_collection"
- "season_by_collection__episode_by_year_month_day_reversed"

Common
------
Common presets are applicable to any config.
Best Video Quality
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Add the following preset to download the best available video and audio quality, and remux
it into an MP4 container:
* ``best_video_quality``
Max 1080p
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Add the following preset to download the best available audio and video quality, with the video not greater than 1080p, and remux it into an MP4 container:
* ``max_1080p``
Chunk Initial Download
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
If you are archiving a large channel, ``ytdl-sub`` will try pulling each video's metadata from
newest to oldest before starting any downloads. It is a long process and not ideal. A better method
is to chunk the process by using the following preset:
* ``chunk_initial_download``
It will download videos starting from the oldest one, and only download 20 at a time. You can
change this number by setting:
.. code-block:: yaml
ytdl_options:
max_downloads: 30 # Desired number to download per invocation
Once the entire channel is downloaded, remove this preset. Then it will pull metadata from newest to
oldest again, and stop pulling additional metadata once it reaches a video that has already been
downloaded.
