if habeshaGhosty-dl is to long, add another alias.

Usage :

To download videos

$ python3 main.py download --mode video

or specify link using -l option.

$ python3 main.py download --mode [channel|playlsit|video] -l [LINK]

To add link to queue list

$ python3 main.py add --mode video -l [LINK]

or -f option to specify file to add from

$ python3 main.py add --mode channel -f [FILE]

If you have added to ~/.bashrc, you can call the command as follows

$ habeshaGhosty-dl download --mode [channel|playlsit|video] -l [LINK]
$ habeshaGhosty-dl add --mode channel -f [FILE]

Customization :

Custom quality

To use a custom quality, add your quality to config.json under config -> quality and change default_quality. eg.

  {
	"config": {
		"quality": {
			    ...
			    "custom_quality" : "value"
			    ...
	"default_quality" : "custom_quality",
	...

You don't like how the script saves the file(filename)?

Modify config -> output_format. The default output for

• videos is

Uploader [CHANNELID]/Title - Uploader - 20111306/Title - Uploader - 20111306 [VIDEOID].ext

--output "%(uploader)s - [%(channel_id)s]/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s"

• channels is

Uploader [CHANNELID]/Title - Uploader - 20111306/Title - Uploader - 20111306 [VIDEOID].ext

--output "%(uploader)s - [%(channel_id)s]/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s" 

• playlists is

Uploader [CHANNELID]/PlaylistName - Uploader [PLAYLISTID]/Title - Uploader 20111306/Title - Uploader - 20111306 [VIDEOID].ext

--output "%(uploader)s - [%(channel_id)s]/%(playlist)s - %(uploader)s - [%(playlist_id)s]/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s/%(title)s - %(uploader)s - %(upload_date)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s"

Setup on Android

You will need termux, a terminal emulato r for android. [Google Play, F-Droid]

Copy /habeshaGhosty-dl/habeshaGhosty-android and run setup.sh. It will prompt you for username and host address.

Then share LINK from YoutTube TO TERMUX.

THINGS TO DO

• Write metadata that can be used by PLEX
• Date parameter (when archiving Channels)
• How does greg store podcast info, sync data. Where does it store it?
