Bonus: schedule regular background checks such that new videos are automatically downloaded to my device as they are created.YTMP4 - YTMP3 - YouTube to MP3 - YouTube to MP4 - YT TO MP3 - YT TO MP4 Possibly this could just be checking the destination dir for existing files, but ideally you would save the download history and ask the user if they want to re-download files already downloaded (then I would choose 'no'). new since the last time I downloaded that playlist. if %Ytdl-playlist-subdirs = true then don't show file picker but save to %download-dir/%playlist-name/%video-name )Ī way to only get new items in a playlist - i.e. Either optionally choose a dir manually for every download initiation (if %Ytdl-choose-dir-every-time = true then show file picker), or optionally place files into subdirs based on playlist name (e.g. I'd like the option for my downloads to not all go in the same dir. Like so: -f '$0' -o '$2/%(title)s.%(ext)s' - '$1'Īlso, I have a couple of feature requests: Inserting ' - ' (no quotes) before the '$1' representing the video id and re-ordering the items to put the id last seems to fix that. It fails when the video id starts with a hyphen '-' because youtube-dl interprets the id as a flag. Probably you should set flags for youtube-dl based on that? It looks like the $5 argument to that script is audio/video, but that's not used. After some mucking around, I discovered that the -embed-subs flag is not compatible with m4a output in the following command from ytdl_video_download: bash -c 'echo '$$' & exec youtube-dl -newline -embed-subs -embed-thumbnail -f '$0' '$1' -o '$2/%(title)s.%(ext)s'' '$4' '$' For now I've just removed the flag because I only want audio. I tried to download a playlist as audio, and got messages that every download failed. I'm not sure why because it ran fine when I ran bash installytdl immediately after. When running the download&install command in termux, bash failed to open the script. This is incredible, thank you! However, I found three issues:
