Config
======
ytdl-sub is configured using a ``config.yaml`` file.
.. _config_yaml:
config.yaml
-----------
The ``config.yaml`` is made up of two sections:
.. code-block:: yaml
configuration:
presets:
You can jump to any section and subsection of the config using the navigation
section to the left.
Note for Windows users, paths can be represented with ``C:/forward/slashes/like/linux``.
If you wish to represent paths like Windows, you will need to ``C:\\double\\bashslash\\paths``
in order to escape the backslash character.
configuration
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The ``configuration`` section contains app-wide configs applied to all presets
and subscriptions.
.. autoclass:: ytdl_sub.config.config_validator.ConfigOptions()
:members:
:member-order: bysource
:exclude-members: persist_logs, experimental
persist_logs
""""""""""""
Within ``configuration``, define whether logs from subscription downloads
should be persisted.
.. code-block:: yaml
configuration:
persist_logs:
logs_directory: "/path/to/log/directory"
Log files are stored as
``YYYY-mm-dd-HHMMSS.subscription_name.(success|error).log``.
.. autoclass:: ytdl_sub.config.config_validator.PersistLogsValidator()
:members:
:member-order: bysource
presets
^^^^^^^
``presets`` define a `formula` for how to format downloaded media and metadata.
download_strategy
"""""""""""""""""
Download strategies dictate what is getting downloaded from a source. Each
download strategy has its own set of parameters.

Presets support inheritance by defining a parent preset:
.. code-block:: yaml
presets:
custom_preset:
...
parent_preset:
...
child_preset:
preset: "parent_preset"
In the example above, ``child_preset`` inherits all fields defined in ``parent_preset``.
It is advantageous to use parent presets where possible to reduce duplicate yaml
definitions.
Presets also support inheritance from multiple presets:
.. code-block:: yaml
child_preset:
preset:
- "custom_preset"
- "parent_preset"
In this example, ``child_preset`` will inherit all fields from ``custom_preset``
and ``parent_preset`` in that order. The bottom-most preset has the highest
priority.
If you are only inheriting from one preset, the syntax ``preset: "parent_preset"`` is
valid YAML. Inheriting from multiple presets require use of a list.

.. _subscription_yaml:
subscription.yaml
-----------------
The ``subscription.yaml`` file is where we use our `presets`_ in the `config.yaml`_
to define a `subscription`: something we want to recurrently download such as a specific
channel or playlist.
The only difference between a ``subscription`` and ``preset`` is that the subscription
must have all required fields and ``{variables}`` defined so it can perform a download.
Below is an example that downloads a YouTube playlist:
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: config.yaml
presets:
playlist_preset_ex:
download:
download_strategy: "url"
url: "{url}"
output_options:
output_directory: "{output_directory}/{playlist_name}"
file_name: "{playlist_name}.{title}.{ext}"
overrides:
output_directory: "/path/to/ytdl-sub-videos"
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: subscription.yaml
my_subscription_name:
preset: "playlist_preset_ex"
overrides:
playlist_name: "diy-playlist"
url: "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=UCsvn_Po0SmunchJYtttWpOxMg"
Our preset ``playlist_preset_ex`` defines three
custom variables: ``{output_directory}``, ``{playlist_name}``, and ``{url}``. The subscription sets
the `parent preset`_ to ``playlist_preset_ex``, and must define the variables ``{playlist_name}``
and ``{url}`` since the preset did not.
File Preset
^^^^^^^^^^^
You can apply a preset to all subscriptions in the ``subscription.yaml`` file
by using the file-wide ``__preset__``:
.. code-block:: yaml
:caption: subscription.yaml
__preset__:
preset: "playlist_preset_ex"
my_subscription_name:
overrides:
url: "https://youtube.com/playlist?list=UCsvn_Po0SmunchJYtttWpOxMg"
playlist_name: "diy-playlist"
This ``subscription.yaml`` is equivalent to the one above it because all
subscriptions automatically set ``__preset__`` as a `parent preset`_.
